This is a question I ask for a Dutch collegue (RN/LC) who is not (as for now) a
lactnetter:
--- At our postnatal ward they started using a baby-care G nipple.
--- This is a artificial nipple with the pores at the basis of it and therefore
--- has an empty part that will be in the mouth like a (breast-)nipple. I did
not yet
--- see any sign of increasing success at the breast in babies
--- that used it and would like to hear your opinions about it.

Anyone w'ho would like to her personally could do so at:
[log in to unmask], but I think commentaries to the list will be
interesting for more lactnetters.

TIA,
