Why do I feel compelled to answer your request for a limerick? Maybe I'm in
a giddy mood, getting ready to go to my neice's wedding! Well here's my best
try at a little poem. (Obviously I'm pronouncing "teet" altho Webster's
gives 2 pronunciations including "tit"). Laurie

For the baby to feed, get full, then rest
He has to get a big mouthful of breast.
Sucking on just the tip leads to pain and low milk;
We don't want to see latching-on of this ilk.
We want success! We don't want defeat.
Remember, the nipple is only the tip of the teat!
