I teach moms to apply them Linda Pohl's way, partially inverting the shield, pressing it against the nipple area and stretching it over the breast. I use mainly this size now, but sometimes find babies that are just too small to accommodate it and must use smaller shields.

>> Does anyone have any experience or feedback regarding the 28mm Mamivac nipple shields?  We have recently seen several mothers with very large nipples whose infants have had difficulty latching and we wondered about the effectiveness of this product.  Can the average-sized term newborn's oral cavity accommodate this size of nipple shield or is it better to encourage mom to pump until the baby grows?
