Dear Friends:
    There was a case where a baby got into serious trouble with a nipple
shield given her in the hospital with no follow up at all. There was a
lawsuit. Unfortunately, as with the lawsuits that have been filed for
supplementation in the hospital without permission, the case that I know of
was settled out of court. When cases are settled out of court, no information
is available, and practice doesn't change.
    Warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MSN, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CIMI
