Hi All,

So far I have not heard from the person who is doing the breastfeeding
study.

I wanted to add my .02 about sensitive nipples.  I agree that you must first
rule out any problems be it yeast, latch etc...  I am very fair skinned and
have sensitive skin.  I have nipple sensitivity during breastfeeding.  I
occasionally have eczema but usually not on my nipples.  I can't stand the
seat belt across my chest because of the friction I experience while
driving.  In the early months of breastfeeding going braless is not
possible.  For me, all of this improves as the baby gets older.  I am
careful about soaps, laundry detergents and fabric softener.  I always wear
flannel breast shields and wear only cotton bras being careful that there is
not a seam that will cause friction.
