yes, me too. initially, the baby is going to be working toward bf on a short
nipple - if the nipple can be protracted at all, just depends on the degree
of inversion/retraction. i cannot figure how a haberman would facilitate that
process, seems most likely to inhibit the process even more than other
artificial nipple types/alt fdg methods.
