Subject:       Nipple shields some moreHi,  all
I have used paper tape to get a nipple shield to stay  put, especially
when working with a premie, or low tone baby.  However,  most of the time, I
have found that putting a little Lansinoh on the edges in  a couple of places
will "stick" it down pretty well.
At  the moment, we have a teensy little 2 lb premie whose mom has a
breast twice  as big as he is, and a nipple.............well, what we have
here is  "oroboobular disproportion".............a term I coined years ago
for one of  the main reasons I use a shield.  This little guy gloms onto  that
shield, sucks that nipple to the end and guzzles like mad three times a  day.
Without that shield there would be no feeding at the breast at  all.  So, I,
for one, have some pretty good things to say about nipple  shields......and
so does this mom, who sits and smiles throughout the  feeding/snuggling
sessions.
