Lactnetters,
    Have to share this one...
    I met with a couple today on rounds in my hospital...they questioned me
about letting the baby use mom as a pacifier.  I told them that from a
lactation standpoint and for me,personally, there is no problem.  Let the
baby nurse...yady, yady, yady.  Then they said the OB told them it was a
problem.  Now usually the OB's don't say much about BF,  he told them that
the gastric juices start in the mouth and that if the baby uses you as a
pacifier...that could start sore nipples...
    What will they think of next?  Why do we have to make up stories???
    Joke for the day...?

during the days, YEAH!)
