Strict research finally seems to refute the Main Trial, etc. which has
provided the rationale for decades for not bothering with prenatal,
prelactational breast exams, and especially, nipple examinations, leaving too many
moms with "train wrecks" waiting for LC's to try to reverse during the first
weeks postpartum!

~~~ Wow this is food for thought: the intervention worked, but under the
defined conditions of assessment being done and intervention implemented by
16-20 weeks. So moms are wearing the cups for 20-24 weeks straight. Given
that information ( and with the benefit of hindsight) I wonder if I would
have worn them for so long ( they are not very sleek under clothing, I guess
one could wear a bra to bed and wear them all night long?) or just had a few
tough days after birth....conundrum.
Aside, I looked up the definition of "kingdom" and although it says ruled
by a king or queen ( man or woman, male or female) my understanding is that
a queen would not rule unless the king is not available. But someone with
more experience living in a place with this kind of system should comment.
In my opinion, the rare use of the word 'queendom' renders "kingdom" a
possibly neutral in definition, but really leading toward a male power head, a
functionally male-gender word, at least in the US. Since language is so
powerful, I try not to use it unless actually talking about the land of a
specific king. Make any sense? Trying to Wiessingerize the rule of the land or
the descriptor of expertise? :)
