Jean Why do I feel compelled to answer your request for a limerick? Maybe I'm in a giddy mood, getting ready to go to my neice's wedding! Well here's my best try at a little poem. (Obviously I'm pronouncing "teet" altho Webster's gives 2 pronunciations including "tit"). Laurie For the baby to feed, get full, then rest He has to get a big mouthful of breast. Sucking on just the tip leads to pain and low milk; We don't want to see latching-on of this ilk. We want success! We don't want defeat. Remember, the nipple is only the tip of the teat!
