Hello all,
Yes, I am obsesing about the exam, but then, I obsess about most everyting.
An RN friend of mine could not believe that I've read almost all the books
on the suggested reading list. Anyway, I have a question about positioning
at the breast for a baby w/ a cleft palate.

In her book, Clinical Strategies for Nurses, Marie Biancuzzo states that the
nipple should be pointed toward the opposite side of the mouth from the
cleft. I've also read this in other resources as well. My question is, how
does a mom keep from getting sore nipples? It seems that this would position
is awkward. Any clarifications are appreciated.
