Subject: Re: nipple shield from Mexico
Yikes - blast from the past is right, but not as distant as in Heather's
case.
Looks like another example of dumping, to me. We have those hideous bicycle
horn things being reincarnated as nipple extractors and even sold as pumps,
as we have seen other quasi-medical products no longer marketable in rich
countries turning up in poorer ones.
I saw this kind of shield being sold out at in a pharmacy rock-bottom prices
less than ten years ago in my town and I was just too cheap to buy them all
up to get them out of the way, but I told the pharmacy where I found them
that they had no business trying to peddle them as they are beyond
ineffective, they are a tool whose only effect is to stop lactation
unintentionally and with great discomfort for the woman. It is not possible
to drain a breast with one of these gadgets on it, so of course it is not
possible for a baby to feed through one. The pharmacy was being remodeled
and moving and they probably found a stash of the things in some cupboard no
one had looked in for decades.
When I first started working as a midwife over 20 years ago, other staff
would from time to time put bottle teats on a woman's breast if the baby
wasn't taking the breast into its mouth by day two. I won't go so far as to
say we handle that situation well nowadays, but we don't use bottle teats
any more. These shields are probably some kind of evidence that there have
been babies who have difficulty finding the breast and attaching their
mouths to it for a long time. The change in practice in my workplace is
evidence that hissy fits *do* work sometimes.
Take a look at all three of the photos (resolution so poor you can not read
the text on the packaging, looks like the vendor used one of the earliest
camera phones to take the pictures) and you will note a new low in the
ongoing competition for bad packaging illustrations on so-called aids to
breastfeeding. Mother and baby are regarding each other from what can only
be called a 'novel' angle, and The King of Nipple Shields is towering in the
foreground. Can someone tell me what 'Ver más Salud y Belleza' means?
Salud I know, but what is the rest?
