Hi Chris. I believe there is a sample nipple shield consent form in
Riordan/Auerbach's text. I have one that I developed from this one, I believe.

I actually mentioned this today in a lecture to some hospital nurses, and
they were amazed that one would need that.  It is not an intervention to use
lightly, or to send a mom off with it never to followup, etc.  That's why I
tell folks that they are NOT a substitute for skilled latch help, or as a
stopgap when the night is too busy and one doesn't have the time to properly
help.  Nurses are overbooked, and need more time to allocate to breastfeeding.
