I need your help again. My best friend had a baby boy almost 3 weeks ago. They are having a horrible time breastfeeding, perhaps homeopathy can help.

She recieved 2 epidurals and pitocin during labor. The labor lasted 24 hours with over 3 hours of pushing. She had taken some pulsatilla about 5 weeks before delivery. She took one pill for three days of 200C under the advice of a coworker.

When the baby was born they said he had low blood sugar and gave him formula while he was in the hospital. This did not require any other treatment.

The baby does not want to latch on, he cries and cries and when he does latch on he gets a glazed look and dozes off to sleep before finishing his meal. My friend has been pumping and he readily takes the milk from the bottle, though he seems more satisfied after he nurses from her directly.

She is in a lot of pain. Scabs form and then the baby tears them off at each feeding. She tenses up when it is time to feed him and cries from the pain. Because of this she has been pumping the milk and giving it to him from the bottle. It is easier on her nipples. She does not have the pain while she pumps.

She has been to two lactation consultants and they offer little help.

The baby was NOT circumcised, nor did he recieve any vaccines.

Please help. She wants to nurse so badly but I fear she is at the end of her rope.
