A mother calls for advice about her 2 month old baby who you can hear screaming in the background. She has left the baby for the first time with a sitter, who gave the baby 3 ounces of formula. The mother has not nursed in six hours. Her breasts are hard and very painful but the baby will not nurse. The mother sounds very upset and tearful.
