Hi Kim,

Great subject for research ! Here on Long Island (NY) where virtually
everyone has an epidural, the most common problem I have seen in the past
five years is latch on difficulty. I would love some data on whether the two
are connected. (When I was an LLL Leader back in 1979 through the 80's, and
further back when I was a Breastfeeding Counselor with NMAA in Australia, the
common problem was sore nipples and latch on difficulty was unusual).  Please
keep us informed !
