I have worked with many mons who have hair around their areolas.  I
have noticed several things, many people don't realize hair on a
woman's areola is normal- Playboy doesn't show hairy breasts, many
women are afraid that they are the only person with hair or that they
are freaks, the first step in a question about hair os to reassure
the woman that she is normal and that many women have hair and it
doesn't interfere with nursing.  Babies don't choke on the hair, nor
does it bother the baby.  Hair removal chemicals such as "Nair" are
usualy too  caustic to apply to the breast, if a mother chooses to
use that she should try a very small area first.  I once saw a breast
that looked like it had second degree chemical burns, many mothers
are also allegic to these products. Plucking irritates the breast
tissue can lead to infection and sometimes leaking around the area of
the plucked hair, shaving seems to dry and irritate the skin, I have
found clipping the hairs the best, least irritating solution. I have
not known any one to use electrolysis.  I will relate a story of two
mothers who had little hairs that tickled the baby's lip and when the
babies were older, the mother decided to trim the hair and the baby
balked at the breast, so I rell them now that it doesn't matter
whether you clip or leave it alone, just don't change boats mid-
stream. Most moms when reassured they are normal prefer to leave the
hair alone.  Cathy
