Re using the adapted nipple everted (syringe) - I had never thought of the liability thing til someone mentioned it to me in a private post. But I can envision maybe a mom uses one and gets a nipple tear or such and then mastitis - this would be an injury to her and pain and suffering, etc. Just a thought. It's great when a tool is discovered, it's cheap, and seems to work - but we should look at all the angles and then make our informed decisions. I'm glad I was able to post something that really got alot of responses and seems lots of us learned alot. Laurie Wheeler, rnc, mn, ibclc
