Nikki writes: I wonder what the significance of treatment in pregnancy for problem nipples in cultures where breastfeeding is NOT the norm, versus treatment in Thailand, where breastfeeding IS the norm, account for the different results. ~~~ Very astute, Nikki. I would think that the cultural context of the information might have a huge effect on how the information is used, what it means, and how moms work with it, indeed. It might not, but then again, it would help explain the differences in outcome, sounds reasonable, and certainly bears keeping in mind.
