Suggest to her that evidence is required for anything that deviates from
what's normal. Jelly on nipples is not normal. Where is her documented,
peer reviewed evidence that jelly is both safe and effective for babies?
What does she think about giving honey or corn syrup to babies? Wouldn't
regular use of jelly have some effect on baby's blood sugar levels?
