Can anyone tell me where this practice originated? I am currently working
with a mother who set her up with nipple shields, and then started
progressively cutting them down. Now of course, the mother has quite a wonderful crack
on her left nipple. I will check the archives for previous discussion, but
could someone enlighten me on the "purpose" of this. The doula told this
mother that the baby will get more milk this way. I don't buy it, and all I can
think of is --OUCH. I would never cut a shield except to create a nose area
on those 20 mm shields. When will those poor 20 mm women deserve a contact
shield?
