Could anyone tell me more about the 'apparantly' in this statement.  Lansinoh is
just beginning to become promoted for use in the UK.   The adverts are causing
some concern because they imply that Lansinoh is the cure for sore nipples, with
no mention of checking the positioning or attachment of the baby at/on the
breast.

Also, LLLGB supply their copies of The Breastfeeding Answerbook with stickers
which say:

"La Leche League Great Britain does not endorse any breastfeeding
product aid or device.  Readers of this publication are reminded that any
references to Lansinoh arise solely from the endorsement of this product by LLLI
and not by LLLGB"

-- I realise this is their general policy on endorsement , but it certainly
makes the reception of lansinoh  a bit more frosty here.

Can anyone tell me what studies have been done to make reference to lansinoh on
lactnet generally warm and approving, in contrast to what I have understood from
colleagues in the UK?
