Hi lactnuts,
Several comments, not very profound, so all in one post.
1. I can't tell you the number of moms who present for me to check and
suggest measures to improve their inverted nipples, who in fact have normal
breast/nipples. Often the nipples are actually somewhat "short" or "flat"
but no intervention is needed, IMO. How many moms do you all really see with
really pronounced EVERTED nipples? I truly see many many more short flattish
ones. Is it because many moms are a tad or more overweight and many breasts
very large and these seem to go with the "short" nipples? Just musing. What
I am trying to say to Jane is, the mom really *may not* have inverted
nipples.
2. I can see the writing on the wall, lactnet is slowing down due to ILCA,
and withdrawal begins. I hope the conference attendees will send us reports.
3. Many new names and people posting last couple of weeks. I think this is
wonderful! Welcome to you all and please keep participating.
4. Good luck to all on the exam. Here's an idea. Pick someone you really
feel knows his/her stuff on lactnet, and when you come to a challenging
question, then ask yourself "what would xxx do?"
