A German woman showed me the nipple shield she used in Germany with her baby: shaped like the Medela thin silicone ones, but made of a tan, cloudy material. Both teat and rim were thin (unlike Medela's stiffer teat) and had a very nice skin-like feel. Has anyone had experience with a shield like this? Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC, LLLL Ithaca, NY
