I bet this mother would be so interested to know about another mother 
who had an almost identical situation -- lost most of one breast 
(including the nipple) due to a severe childhood burn.  She went on 
to breastfeed all her children, including tandem nursing and nursing 
*twins* exclusively with her one working breast.  The breast without 
a nipple went through engorgement and involution after each birth.

It's an amazing story and so inspiring.  I love this line when she's 
talking about nursing the twins -- it just makes me laugh:  "I keep 
thinking how much more time I would have on my hands if I had two 
breasts to nurse with."  That really puts all the complaints of 
'normal' mothers into perspective!
