I have a patient that delivered at 32.5 weeks gestation. Baby was 3lbs 12 oz 
at birth. Baby is now 4lbs 14oz. Mom is bottle feeding expressed breast milk. 
She is exclusively pumping. She wanted to make sure baby was getting 
enough so for her seeing what baby is getting was good for her. I talked with 
her about skin to skin with baby everyday and allow baby to try to latch if she 
wants to. She would like to eventually get baby to breast. She is now 36 wks 
gestation. My question is do you feel that she would go to breast easier with 
the use of a nipple shield. I know preemie babies do better with a nipple shield 
to keep the latch. My concern is getting enough milk to her if she does use 
the shield. Please feel free to email me privately if you like. [log in to unmask] or

Thanks,
