That sounds like me. I was in the same boat. It's hard and it's heartbreaking but it can be done. Especially if you are stubborn my milk took aaaaages to come in after the cs and we mix fed for months. DD is 16 months old and is still bfing. The hardest part for me was accepting I did need to supplement with formula. Boobs always came first fhough.

Your friend has not failed. Every time she feeds bub is getting that goodness.

Track down the recipe for lactation cookies on the main BellyBelly site and make some up for her. They really helped me

I hope your friend is gentle on herself. Loads of skin on skin snuggles and resting will help too
