It was alittle different when I had my first case of extra mammary glands and
extra nipples.  Luckily, I was into my photography at that time, so I quick
called my photographer over and with consent, got pictures/slides of it all.
 A lactating mother may have extra or what is called accessory nipples
anywhere along her milk line which extends from the axilla (armpit) down to
the groin area.  Also, she may have supernumerary breast tissue.  The mothers
I consulted with were not aware of it until the transition into mature milk
occured.  (I hate "coming in") Some had several nipples, while others had
just the breast tissue.  Milk did come out of the nipples, but you just
counseled them to leave them alone and place ice packs on the areas and the
milk drys up.  I had one doctor that told one of the mothers "You can't
breast feed, you have too many nipples"  I could have killed him.  Instead I
gathered my thoughts and told the poor crying mother that she was lucky and
had extra ones, but first use the two biggest ones and she would do just
fine.  She did.

got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as
possible before handing it on to future generations."  by George Bernard Shaw
