Hi Karyn-Grace,

I weaned my nine-month old (maybe it was even ten months) off the nipple shield. He was bottle-fed for nine months (we adopted him) and then brought to breast with nipple shield and supplementer. About a month later, I wanted to remove the shield. We went all day without it, and finally, at the end of my rope, I put a dab of honey on my nipple. He tasted it, got milk at the same time, and went without the shield from that day on.

This story is not identical to your client's, but maybe shares some aspect which may be helpful?

Wendy
