After four kids, my thought processes are way different than with the first and I'm trying to read this through that first baby filter. Even though my first was born in 2001, I can definitely relate to this Lois - though the nurses were a lot more help than Nancy describes here but the baby - not so cooperative. I'd been through the classes and had the lactation in and still nothing worked.
I know Nancy based part of the previous story on her own experiences, so it's possible that she's done something of the same here [though I have no way of knowing for sure what]. I, personally, have had one baby lose 17% of her body weight in 6 days and be readmitted to the hospital, the first one mentioned above was borderline before she FINALLY caught on, and we all know the story of my DS as a failure to thrive baby [as retold in OTOH]. Even with the fourth, I relied heavily on the nurses who were not always as helpful as they should have been...
