Good morning ladies, A well meaning,misinformed grandmother brough a store bought Avent nipple shield along to a consult . SIGH! Have any of you seen these? They are very small, it looks to be about the size of the pacifier that has flanged edges side to side and only is about an 1 to 1 and 1/4 inch wide. I would be very afraid of aspiration, as they are silicone soft and too smal IMHO. Thinking I should get in touch with the consumer product safety commission, but am unsure if they check into "potential hazards" or just those items that have caused real problems. Anyone know? Yet another product to supposedly "help" and yet can cause great potential for harm in a breastfeeding relationship, marketed to a largely unsuspecting public.
