Sara,
I'm not sure how to phrase this...no intent to offend any lactnetters...nor
do I want to get involved in a discussion about sex.
I suspect there are many of us who have done this, but have not openly
discussed it. It works quite well.
Along the same lines, I have often wondered about inverted nipples which
respond to the syringe technique prior to putting the baby to the breast.
Did the mom's partner not engage in any foreplay with the nipples...?
