Dear Friends:
    I saw a mother with a newborn and a two-year  old, my first tandem 
consultation.She had pain nursing the two-year old from the  beginning and lots of 
problems. Her nipples hurt nursing during this pregnancy,  but she perservered 
because she didn't want to deprive the toddler of this  security during a time 
of family stresses. She also has chronic yeast; her  husband is the vector.
    Amazing what women will endure.
    What has worked, today anyway was the asymmetrical  latch! She also got 
relief from hearing that the mom is responsible for the  positioning and the 
baby is responsible for the latch. This helped with the  toddler as well as the 
newborn.
    warmly,
