I believe Jan Riordan has already written this research  up.  I think they
found that IV fluids did NOT have an effect.  It was a poster session at
ILCA.  Maybe the puffiness we see is a results of other factors in US births
than just the IVs.  Do LCs in other countries see puffy, boggy nipples and
areolas on a routine basis?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pat, seems many moms will say that their nipples did not look like this
"before."

Do you recall; Did Jan's research include pitocin? ...as a factor in fluid
retention.
