Hi, All:  I don't have a pattern for a knitted breast, although I recall 
seeing one (both knitted and crochet) several years ago, but can't remember 
where.  Check one of the many knitting/crocheting sites.  I do have a 
pattern called peek-a-boob for a knitted nursing halter top.  One of the 
moms in my support group is making one for me - I just don't have the 
time.  There are several photos of what it looks like - somewhat like the 
popular camisole nursing tops.  This pattern can be found at www.knitty.com.
I've also been following with great interest the thread on "nipple rape" 
and it IS rape, if that is the mother's perception.  I'm working with our 
psych clinical nurse specialist on setting up a support group for moms 
who've had C-sections.  Even though so many mothers are requesting C-
sections today, they do end up with a lot of emotional trauma afterwards.  
The moms have been asking for such a group, especially moms with repeat C-
sections.
