news update:  FDA Warns Consumers Against Using Mommy's Bliss Nipple Cream

Any questions, we want you to call or email. Please! Your success at breastfeeding is very important to me and my staff, and we want to make sure we give you as much support as you need during the first, sometimes very difficult, days. So call, email, send smoke signals, whatever, but please get in touch with me or my staff when you have questions.
