I have to disagree with the person who wrote that this mother will basically do well with support (paraphrasing). I must say that with her history (a previous lactation failure/FTT infant) and her concerns that all is not going well, she should be taken very seriously indeed. I know that perceived insufficient milk supply is a leading factor in early weaning, however I find that moms generally know when their infants are unhappy and not satisfied, and usually they know that their supplies are low. I know also that we say that pumping volumes don't equate with breastfeeding milk transfers, and that is true, but I believe they do correlate well, esp. if mother is using a hospital grade pump. Having worked with many of these mother/baby dyads, it is imperative that mother and baby recieve close followup. I would see if mother would try a supplementer at breast.
