Mom is pumping long term for baby with sucking problems who has never been
able to suck at breast, despite several interventions that did not work.  She
has large nipples and has switched to large size flanges from Medela but
continues to struggle with open fissure type wound that doesn't seem to heal.  Has
tried lanolin, vit E,  antibiotic creams, Soothies. etc.  She says that the skin
"tries to heal" but as soon as she pumps, it opens up again.  She is using a
Symphony pump about 8 times a day and is experiencing great discomfort each
time she pumps.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Ann
