Good morning ladies,

A well meaning,misinformed grandmother brough a store bought Avent nipple 
shield along to a consult . SIGH!  Have any of you seen these? They are very 
small, it looks to be about the size of the pacifier that has flanged edges 
side to side and only is about an 1 to 1 and 1/4 inch wide. I would be very 
afraid of aspiration, as they are silicone soft and too smal IMHO. Thinking 
I should get in touch with the consumer product safety commission, but am 
unsure if they check into "potential hazards" or just those items that have 
caused real problems. Anyone know?

Yet another product to supposedly "help" and yet can cause great potential 
for harm in a  breastfeeding relationship, marketed to a largely 
unsuspecting public.
