I was wondering if anyone could point in the direction of any recent research published supporting the use of a silicone nipple shield in the NICU population.  I have the study Paula Meier did in 2001, but wondered if anyone knew of a more recent study.  My lit searches are coming up with nothing.

Thanks!
