foreign breastfeeders

One of my patients today was from another country, spoke english as a 2nd language, and had a really hard time breast feeding. I had a hard time explaining things to her, so I called around and there wasn't anyone who could really help me. After spending most of the day working on this, she was finally latching beautifully! Very satisfying! And the silver lining was when she asked how long she should take her prenatals, I asked how long she planned on breast feeding, she replied "at least 2 years, maybe 3, I dont usually breast feed very long"! Love it!
