Yesterday I received a package in the mail with a sample product of gel  
pads that contain milk proteins derived from non-fat cow's milk, stated to be  
perfectly safe for mom and baby.  Said proteins are purported to be  
anti-inflammatory and supposed to promote healing of sore nipples.  How can  cow's 
milk whey and casein proteins ever be safe for babies?  I was/am  totally 
flabbergasted.  These are available at Target stores and developed,  
according to the letter accompanying said product, by two doctors.  Oh, and  also 
included were samples of nipple butter with milk proteins, as well.   Customer 
Care can be reached at [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) 
 where product  questions can be asked...yikes.  Thoughts?  Anyone else 
receive these,  for I'm sure since it was addressed Dear Lactation Consultant 
that if you  haven't you will.
