Good on this mum and good on you too Fiona! It's highly unlikely that this
mum could have done it without you. You should give yourself a pat on the
back. I'm giving a presentation at one of the State Aust BF Assoc
conferences about relactation on Saturday and will be emphasising what BF
counsellors need to do to support mums relactation/inducing lactation and it
comes down to what you describe....support, support, support. Knowledge
about relactation can be helpful but when it comes down to it, it's pretty
simple and mums just can't do without the support of someone who knows that
they can do it and that it's worth doing.
Your post made my day!
