<I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of the breastfeeding book that was out and about 15 - 20 years ago that advocated the use of grape jelly on the mother's nipples to help the baby latch -- also the use of the NUK nipple for anything from pacifying the baby to train him to suck correctly. I think the book was by Ilene Rice, but I could be wrong on that too. It had some -- umm -- amazing ideas in it. Anyone else remember which book I'm talking about?> Breastfeeding...A Heartstart; The essential guide to an Optimum Experience of Love, Trust, Hope, and Growth, Copyright 1982 and 1987 by Ilene S. Rice, RN, BSN, PH N., IBCLC. p. 154 "If above attempts fail and the baby has had glucose water, you can trade off to win. Put Jelly on your nipple to attract the baby." Beside it, I have penciled in "Could this be where the Texas hospital got this?" I have the book punctuated here and there with stars, exclamation points, comments such as "Bosh", "I half agree" and "whole truth" beside the sentence "It is emptying the breasts that signals the milk glands to secrete more milk." But I won't repeat what I concluded as a whole, and penned in on the title page! Though they are not all in the same league, I also have "Expectant Motherhood" by Nicholas Eastman and "The Breasts and Breastfeeding" by Harold Waller. Need I say that I seldom throw anything away?
