what you said about the nerve endings being closer in the first 3 weeks
post partum is interesting, but I must say, when I talked about nipples
toughening up...I had skin that flaked away a little bit, and the
underneath skin *was* tougher.  It was like if I had a bit of calouses
(sp?) on my nipples.  Just enough that it stopped hurting.
