I had a mom go from not nursing at all, to starting to pump 10 days pp, 
to a full supply within a couple weeks.  The baby didn't actually nurse 
at the breast until about ten weeks (and was bottle fed by Dee 
Kassing's method).  It was just a long, long transition for them.  She 
tried only once per day for weeks, and then started to visit me a few 
times, whereupon the baby would latch fabulously, and she felt 
encouraged to try more often.  When baby cried, I would "interpret" 
along the lines of frustration and confusion and hope for "getting it" 
in the future.

I only wish there were a magic wand.  S2S comes darn close.
