It sure ain't perfect and it ain't a breast, but we minimize the negative consequences to the extent we can, be super supportive, keep moving towards normal feeding at breast and keep in mind the three rules: Feed the baby, Normalize Milk Supply, and Work on the Feeding Challenges. It's the best we can do in sometimes very challenging circumstances.
