Kathy,

The use of the sord "sore leads to semantic confusion in many instances.
See the dictionary's definitions of the word "sore". As  noun, it means
"wound". As an adjectve, it means "tender". It all depends on what you
and the person you are talking to mean by the use of the word "sore". You
each may be saying the same word, but have entirely different concepts in
your minds.

>From "Infant Feeding", by Mavis Gunther, Henry Regnery Co., Chicago,
1971, p. 81:

"If, however, owing to poor protractility or misfit or poor positioning
of the baby, the nipple will not go far enough into the baby's mouth, or
tends to slip out, the baby has very little beside suction to pull it in
with. If it is to stay in the mouth, the suction has to be strong enough
to counter the tendenecy of the nipple to slip out and so, secretly, and
silently and apparently without effort, the baby can use very strong
suction. This negative pressure can be beyond the resistance of the cells
fo the nipple skin (for the scientifically minded: figures of 200 mm. Hg.
have been recorded.)"
