Dear lactnetters, I saw a mother a few days ago with truly deeply inverted
nipples bilat. Her four sisters also have this condition and all failed at
breastfeeding, They pumped and gave emm via bottle. I was going to try a
nipple shield with her as baby was doing very well on her part but just
couldn't get stay on the Breast.  Mom was receptive as she had never heard of
this device but the fellow LC I was working with said not to introduce a
shield until at wits end.  Would I have been in the wrong to try this. Mom
went home renting a pump as her sister's had done.... TIA, Lisa Mooney RN BSN
IBCLC
