Felicity Savage once showed slides of African mothers with
*terrible-looking* nipples, to remind us that breastfeeding education, not
something related to skin color, has the most to do with whether a  woman
gets sore nipples or not.  I suppose we just don't hear much about African
breastfeeding problems because we're so wrapped up in solving our own.
