The secretary for the place my husband works had this problem.  She
called the LLL and waited 2 weeks to get a call back...by which time
she'd weaned her daughter.  She had sore nipples and was sure she
"wasn't making enough milk".  :-(

Now that she knows my husband, and has met me, she knows she could call
me if she needed help (on a subsequent baby), though I don't know if she
WOULD if push came to shove...but it's too late to even suggest that
now, as her daughter is 16 months like mine, and hasn't nursed since she
was about 6 weeks old.  :-(

Such a tragedy.

Fio.
