This is an odd wondering for you all: When you look at many of the Old Masters paintings of a mother and baby nursing (check out Rubens in particular), the way that many of the mothers shape their breasts is one we all know— the sideways V (greater than or less than sign for us math teachers!) . I remember from years ago that there was a word used to describe that hand shape, I am pretty sure it started with the letter v- does that resonate with anyone in their memory banks? I can’t remember if it was from a long ago conference or in something I read! But I want that word!
Thanks for thinking!
And Tina, thanks for that heart hug post on how good it feels to be thanked and how important it is to share our appreciation with others— that trickle effect of gratitude is so important!

> A thank you note from a mom is always so special to receive. At my desk this morning - there was one. Mom wrote: " I just wanted to say thank you for coming to my house last summer after your work day to help me with latching issues. I was so upset that I was having so much pain and I was scared I wasn't going to continue our BF journey. Shortly after you left, I began using all your tips and within 1 week I was pain free and we were thriving. The baby is now 8 months and I have now donated 1,000 ounces of milk to local moms! I couldn't have done it without your support from that one day. SO THANK YOU! "
