I agree with Julia, there are so many "rights" and 'wrongs" to BF :-(

I think there are   2 separate issues here, marketing of shields vs use of 
shields.
Use:
I believe Dr Meier's research is positive re: shields.  The flip side is 
described by Angela - the unsupervised use of shields with little or no 
direction & follow up.
Marketing: I won't go there this am, I think we have pretty much established 
that it is lousy.  Pat in SNJ
