Our hospital has recently started purchasing breast pads with a center liner
of plastic.  I know that Riorden & Auerbach state that plastic holds in
moisture and can enable yeast growth.  I'm faced with a rumor that that isn't
true "according to the literature".  Anyone out there know of any studies
along this line?  Thanks.
