re:  feeding tube comment:
>Of course you cannot use it if the baby is not latching on...

I had one persistent non-latcher who ultimately latched *because* of the
feeding tube.  Mom had very spherical breasts with very flat nipples - no
obvious reference point.  I think the baby was just looking for a target,
and the tip of the tube provided it.  Has anyone else seen this, or was
this one a fluke?
