I have worked with women who have breastfed with nipple shields for 5 months
and more.
One mother I met in the local hospital postpartum told me that with an older
child she had breastfed for more than a year using a nipple shield.
She preferred breastfeeding that way.

There is a lovely lady in my LLL Group who has been nursing her 4 year old
with a nipple shield ever since he was born.  I am wondering if anyone else
knows of one who used a shield that long.
