I talked to a coworker yesterday. She said she had a wart on her nipple and
nursed with it when her son was born 14 years ago. His nursing worked it
off & he swallowed it. Must have. He didn't spit it out. She said it hurt a
LOT, but the nipple healed. No harm to the baby. He's healthy & age 14 now.
No new wart for mom.

because it was

is

the milk

left for

until

that
