> Want to check on what the evidence-based consensus is on nipple care.
> Is it correct that we NEVER advise rubbing breastmilk into nipples,

> Also, what should we say about how parents can know that breastfeeding is
> going well?
> Is it correct to say that yellow stools, wet diapers etc. are indicators
> that suggest things are probably going well, but that only by weighing do
> we know for sure?
> We want to empower parents but want to be sure we are giving
> evidence-based information.
