Hi Amy,
I love these shields. They allow a baby who cannot form or sustain a
teat to get a lot of breast in their mouth. I teach moms to apply them
Linda Pohl's way, partially inverting the shield, pressing it against
the nipple area and stretching it over the breast. I use mainly this
size now, but sometimes find babies that are just too small to
accommodate it and must use smaller shields.

We have recently seen several mothers with very large nipples whose infants have had difficulty latching and we wondered about the effectiveness of this product. Can the average-sized term newborn's oral cavity accommodate this size of nipple shield or is it better to encourage mom to pump until the baby grows?
