Hi, Jennifer:  Let me clarify - I have never worked with a mom who loved
(or liked) the nipple shield even when she knew it was necessary, as in
your case.  I have worked with many, many moms with situations similar to
yours and have found that most of the "help" I was providing was of vast
amounts of reassurance and cheerleading.  Most of these moms go on to
successfully wean from the shield, some do not, as mentioned by others in
previous posts.  As you, being a LLL person, certainly know, breastfeeding
help consists primarily of emotional support and reassurance.  Moms may
accept the need for a shield, but they don't necessarily like it or love it.
Just my 2 cents...
