Well, if ever I did try it (I think I may have read about it somewhere,
but could just as well 'conjured up' this explanation in my fertile
imagination!) I would, of course advise mom to rinse it off before
nursings. I even advise them to do that with the dilute vinegar solution
for fear baby would reject taste. But maybe the dilution, plus the
interim sweat and perhaps leakage, might make this a non-issue? What
experience have others had?
