Okay folks! I just did a talk in Orlando, FL about "Metaphors and Concepts
That We Utilize to Help our Breastfeeding Mothers".
Here is an "example" for engorgement:
Imagine that your breast is a balloon. As your breast fills with milk,
it is a lot like a balloon filling with air. The balloon initially looks
like it has a nipple, but as it fills up, the nipple flattens. Milk pools
behind the areolar tissue, and as a result, your nipple becomes flatter, and
it becomes more difficult for the baby to latch. Expressing some milk for
the baby to have a supple nipple to latch onto can facilitate the feed...
I thought that LACTNET would be a great resource for more metaphors.
Please feel free to share. Since I just did a talk, I have several others...
Thanks to all who decide to contribute!!! Debbie
Albert
