As long as we're discussing nipple shields: Do any of you feel doctrinaire about sizes of shields? An LC I work with believes that any size smaller than 24mm should be locked up. (LC believes that a wide one makes babies open wide). Currently the 20mm ones are hidden/locked up --and the 16mm are only in the NICU, which is a floor and a universe away from the postpartum nurses (so effectively unavailable even to the LCs on the postpartum). Kind of odd that there seems to be little written about choosing sizes of shields. So what are your thoughts and practices??
