I've seen one this year that mom brought to a consult, complaining that the inside "holes" cut the tip of her nipples. Sure enough, the rough edges of the punctures in the tip of the shield abraded against her nipple as she fed. We switched to another brand and she fed comfortably. This was a baby who was "a little early" and made good use of the shield. Depending on where it was purchased, I have seen two different kinds of Avent shields - one as LuAnn described and another that resembled the Medela/Ameda product. I think the narrow version might have been older or perhaps imported from the UK?
