So, there's a mum I've become acquainted with at kindy who's been having trouble with her 5 week old LO. Hysterical, in pain, crying and pulling off the breast all night. The paed has diagnosed reflux and put her on meds, but also suggested she wasn't making enough milk...
....so she's started topping up with formula.

She's expressed a couple of times (straight after a feed) but has only got a couple of mLs...
....so now she thinks she's not making enough milk.

And Bub pulls off in the afternoons after about 15 mins each side, grizzling and looking hungry...
....so mum thinks she's not getting enough and tops up with more formula.

She hasn't seen anyone else for a second opinion and, as far as I'm aware, weight gain has been fine.

All this means she's now thinking her BFing journey is nearly at an end...she sounded quite blasé in what she was saying, 'Oh well, some women weren't meant to BF' etc but when I looked at her she had tears in her eyes. So I get the idea she doesn't want to give up, but how do I help? Am I overstepping if I give her the number of a great LC? Should I make her some lactation cookies? Should I tell her about supply and demand, about how pumping isn't a reliable indicator of supply, how 5-6 wet nappies a day are an indicator of adequate intake, about cluster feeding, how a paed isn't qualified in BFing? Tell her to call the ABA for advice? Or should I just step back and let her be? WWYD?
