Shucks. I tried to keep my lactnet space limited by not telling the whole story, and it backfired. I recommended lubricants to this starting-adoption mother but she *preferred* the lower suction solution, at least for now. She started pumping maybe 10 days ago, and expects the baby in another couple weeks. As to flange size, she has small-average nipples. -- Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC, LLLL Ithaca, NY www.wiessinger.baka.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
