    Poor girl - must be very daunting. Perhaps there is more to it - she may have misunderstood perhaps, maybe she feels uncomfortable bf herself and is not comfortable saying that??? Certainly encourage her to seek support from ABA if she is interested.

    As a side issue - with a 3rd deg tear and significant blood loss without a transfusion - her recovery will be different to someone who didn't have significant blood loss. It takes time to replace red blood cells and she will take a few months for that to fix up - may be worth checking with her GP to make sure she has adequate care also.

    Hope she recovers well and gets the support she needs.

    ETA - I also had similiar issues - and successfully BF for 10months - but initially was exhausted and physically very difficult.
