You don't need to buy a breast.  I made an excellent one from an old 
dark-coloured nylon pantihose, just stuffed it with wadding/rags, shaped it, 
and drew an areola on the tip, and sewed a nipple by doing running stitches 
in a circle and drawing the thread together and tying it.  Size and colour 
are realistic, and squashable etc to demo latch and expressing etc.  I also 
made an extra one in light fabric and covered it with another pink layer for 
skin.  I drew the glands and ducts on the underneath layer and areola and 
nipple on top, so I can peel it away to show what's underneath for anatomy. 
Hope this makes sense.

I use a bunch of grapes to demo more anatomy and we squeeze them and pop the 
grape from inside the skin into our mouths to show how the let-down works.

Anyone have a padded breast showing the anatomy that I can use while 
teaching my CAPPA certified lactation educator training course.  I am on a 
tight budget.
