Nikki, this is close to my recollection, the old shield being > 50%
reduction, and the new thin silicone much less, but I remeber ~37% being the
number, AND, I remember the % numbers referring to longer term milk
*production*, not transfer.

Maybe Paula's research laid all that to rest, I'm just not quite sure yet.

Dang, there's just no substitute for having to dig up the studies!
