"There  is very little milk in the tiny tubes inside your nipple, different 
from what  you are used to seeing with a bottle. The milk is in very tiny 
little tubings  under the circle; they act a lot like toothpaste tubes, and 
we all know that  starting pressure at the back of the toothpaste tube helps 
get more to come  out." And then I go on to tell them how important is to 
soften their "circle"  before latching if necessary, so the baby can "make it 
work".

What kind  of terminology do others find effective? Or am I "overthinking" 
this, as I  have sometimes been told that I do??

Hello all,

Actually, I think the 'toothpaste tubes' and the 'not like bottles', is  
great. Keep "overthinkin" Jean, if this is the result...:)
 
Peace,
Judy
