I would like your opinions and experience with using breast shields.  Our
neonatalogist would like to order nipple shields for our preemie babies.  The
adjustment to the breast is often very difficult with this group of babies.  I
am all for it.  However, an older nurse here feels it would decrease the
mother's milk supply too much.  I feel the shields should only be used as a
last resort to obtaining a latch on.  I also feel the mom's supply will
eventually decrease with the constant use of a pump.  What is the feeling out
there.

Thank you
Shirley
