This startled me, as I had not heard that so called "nursing blister" on the
top lip described as a sign of bad latch.   Actually I thought it was normal
and usual.  But this description (dry against dry = friction) makes sense.
Is this some well known thing that has slipped through the cracks of my
idiosyncratic bf education?   Experts, instruct me please!
