@surgena - when too engorged its hard for baby to latch and I always suggest hand expressing or reverse pressure softening to help soften up the breast, just enough for baby to be able to latch.

As far as other advice, if anyone needs advice I suggest contacting an LLL leader in your area or an IBCLC and make sure they have that credential. An LC is not the same thing and too many times I've seen them give out bad advice. Help over the Internet is useful but sometimes there's a lot more to the story than just one thing and it helps to see latch etc first hand.

Rarely. That's the idea: I know there are other breastfeeding moms here, but there's no organized support other than a bf class at the hospital. When my last DS was born and I went back to work, I so needed an advocate and couldn't find anyone, and I really don't want that happening to anyone else. Too many docs here tell moms "you tried but you just can't do it... Here, have a box of similac."
