Casey queries us about milk sinuses:
 
<<My thoughts are this.  I know that technically we now know  there are not =
milk=20
sinuses per se.  But there was a time when,  believing there to be milk si=
nuses,=20
part of our understanding of  latching a baby was to make sure the baby=20=

latched deeply enough to  reach the milk sinuses>>
 
********************************************
You are right -- no milk sinuses -- they evolved into the "Sweet Spot" --  
the spot where babies have to latch to get a good MER.  
 
And I've found exactly what you have found -- especially in multips that  
have nursed several babies.  Seems as though the breasts droop, but the  "sweet 
spot" doesn't move.
 
Observation only, friends -- don't go looking for a reference.
