utopia)  where moderate to severe pain (not just mild pain!) was reported
in 49% of  mothers on day 3 and 36% pf mothers on day 7. These were all
mothers who  had lots of LC one-on-one follow-up.
Nancy, I respectfully have to disagree that  this proves that pain is normal.
It may be often occurring. It just is not  logical to suppose that using a
normal bodily function is painfull for almost  half of the population after 3
days of practice and still for more than a third  after a week.
Mild sensitivity or even some starting pain  in the first days might be
normal for a never used breast, like starting  exercise may lead to some musclepain
in untill then unused muscles. But using  bodyparts for their normal function
should not continue to be  painfull.

Warmly,

Glad to be back after too long  no-mail
