A German woman showed me the nipple shield she used in Germany with her
baby:  shaped like the Medela thin silicone ones, but made of a tan, cloudy
material.  Both teat and rim were thin (unlike Medela's stiffer teat)  and
had a very nice skin-like feel.  Has anyone had experience with a shield
like this?
