>>ne possibility, among the many you are considering, is that the =
glandular tissue is fine but that the "plumbing" doesn't work - ducts = too
narrow at some point, with only very little milk reaching the = outlets in
the nipple, ducts that are "blind" and don't continue through = to the
surface.
I first saw this forty years ago in a cow, would you believe.  The poor =
cow was full of milk and in distress from greatly distended udder, not = no
milk would come out.  The concensus was that she had "blind teats".  = It
was a likely cause of at least one human case (not my client) some = years
ago, but there was no ultrasonography done to confirm this.
Human anatomy can vary so much, that this is one possibility that you =
might want to consider.<<

This was where I was going....... I have had one mother like this also, and
have posted about her here previously. It was unilateral, and the nipple was
actually malformed (bisected) so easier to diagnose.
