Yes, I know , third post this session, can you tell I just caught up on my
mail ?

I have had a couple of unusual statements from staff who have been to some
assorted BF presentations - what do you guys think ?

1. Sore nipples are caused by the acid in babies saliva and the mother should
wash the breast off after feeds to remove it......

2. Women should not apply breastmilk to their nipples after feeds because it
can cause the nipple to become crusty and irritated...

These "ideas" caught me off guard because they are opposite of what I have
always taught and/or beleived....

Looking forward to your comments -
