The post from Annelies was very interesting.  I was wondering and haven't
seen this aspect discussed before on Lactnet when discussing this
subject- if the nipple was removed and replaced, then recanalization
took place, where would the milk collection sinuses be located?  It seems
to me they would either be removed with the reduction or located else
where lower on the breast where the origional nipple location was.

It seems to be that even if recanalization takes place, babies of
mothers with nipples removed and relocated would not be able to position
their gums behind the collection sinuses and would not be able to
"breastfeed" effectively.  They would have to rely on a strong milk
ejection reflex?????

Any thoughts?
