I hadn't  heard Cathy's comment about being ready to stop shields when baby 
gets excited  at the sight of a naked breast, so I have continued to parrot 
an earlier  comment of hers: 'The day the dog eats the shield, they'll 
manage without it.'  Anything that makes a new mother laugh while she is 
floundering at  breastfeeding, is good. I still don't know what to say if they tell 
me they  don't have a dog."

Both excellent comments. Sometimes I share my sister-in-law's story that  
after  months of using a shield on one side ( had no idea, heard this years  
later) the baby took one look at the shield, took it off the breast, threw 
it on  the floor, and latched herself on without out it from then on. :)
 
Peace,
