I think that would make sense, given what a friend said about these
products.  Said that the tube for the Lact-aid is much finer, so of
course the baby would have to suckle harder to get the milk.

She also said that the Lact-aid is much simpler to use, and leaks less
once you know how to use them.  She wears her lact-aid on a modified
strap under her arm, so that there is more gravity working against the
baby's suck to make him work even harder.  ;-)
