Sorry, I don't know the origin of the phrase (nipple sandwich) but am glad that it was brought up because although I like the positioning, I have trouble with use and understanding of the term. When coaching parents I often will use these words to describe what I am doing but inevitably they develop a perplexed look on their faces, they just don't "get" the imagery. Does anyone have a more ideal way of describing this process? I would like to leave the word "sandwich" out entirely as this is where I seem to lose them! TIA!
