Anne,
Excellent article. The only thing I would change is to eliminate "extremely"
from the sore nipples red flag. I have seen moms with the tips of their
nipples chewed away (actually, tongued away) who thought nipple soreness was
normal. This is my pet peeve, I don't think breastfeeding should hurt.
Period. I know some perinatal nurses swear that some nipple soreness is
normal, but what is normal about American hospital births? (Should I duck
now?)
