Debbie reports on a study:

> Red rubber nipple shield reduced milk flow by 58%.=A0 Thin latex shield
> redu=
> ced=20
> milk flow by 22%.=A0 Study observed only one feeding, so very limited
> study.=
> =A0=20
>

But this is a "thin LATEX shield" not the thin silicon shields currently in
use.  So except for one pumping study (KGA) and one premie study (PM) I'm not
sure there is another valid study out there looking a milk reduction w/ a
silion shield.  ????
