Jeanette,
Very, very cogent post.  In the easy consults we make a few
modifications to positioning and latch, and mom and baby can take it
from there.  But many of the cases we see require a process of growth
and learning for things to come together.  Protecting the milk supply,
and feeding the baby in some way that helps him learn the skills
necessary for breastfeeding is the key objective in so many of my
initial consults.
