Hi Mellanie,

I don't believe you have mentioned in any of your posts but have you seen 
this Mom and baby at all?   
Has contact been via telephone and email only?   I realize that LLL works 
differently but as an LC, I would have insisted on "seeing" this pair well before 
this point (or Dc'd contact). Until someone actually looks at this baby's 
mouth, latch, feeding behavior, Mom's breasts, nipples, fullness and letdown 
characteristics all speculating is just that, particularly at this point when the 
scenario has become even more complicated.   Perhaps it IS as simple as the 
Mom not recognizing the point at which the "same breast" feeding became 
unnecessary for dealing with the overproduction/OALD and actually began to limit 
intake and stall wt. gain but this puzzle is not coming together as is.
