Dear Jan,
    Congratulations on your grandson Nathaniel. I met you in 2000 in Phil.
at the LC review course. I became a grandma in Dec., 2002 and of course
worried about my daughter's nursing the same as you are. We did not have
as many obstacles, except an emergent C/s for fetal distress and not
starting nursing for a few hours. Emily is still a nursing baby,
thankfully. I hope things are going better. I just caught up with this
news, my thoughts, is your daughter started on an SNS or lactaid
supplementer.
Daughters tend to tell their mothers  off sometimes of course, and we
mothers walk a thin line. Have you had another LC work with her or is she
totally comfortable with your assistance. It sounds like she is really
trying since birth so tell her we all applaud her efforts. I wouldn't be
surprised if it was a retained placenta fragment as others have
suggested.  I also got my daughter to go to LLL meetings to meet other
mothers her age.  I was lucky enough to have my own mom's group at my
hosptial too that I dragged my daughter to also. She enjoyed getting out
too, I believe. Sometimes the mothers have difficult stories that other
mothers can relate to, also.  Do you have a sympathetic LLL leader close
by?
    Warm regards,
    Ellen Mahony, RN, IBCLC, LCCE
