  a. How do you feel about giving up breastfeeding and going to bottle feeding?
  b. The breast will mold to the shape of the baby's lips, will fill the opening in the lip, and your baby will probably have no more difficulty breastfeeding than any other baby.
  c. It will help to not dwell on having to give up breastfeeding, and perhaps you can breastfeed your next baby.
