Barbara:  Thank you for that detailed and thoughtful reply to my question
about the consensus on older babies and teething.  I absolutely agree that
there's more than one way to be right.  The other IBCLC was accusing me of
not practicing "the standard of care" because I DIDN'T suggest a sheild!  At
this point, I'm just trying to gather a variety of ways that LNers approach
this particular problem.  The mother and baby are doing fine with the
suggestions I made.  This is very much an academic discussion.  BTW, I'd
love to see the article that inspired hate mail (I promise not to add to the
mail).
