base giving a shield to a mom while still in the hospital on how far

nipples to
be pulled into the shield,
With regards to this...Do areolas need to be soft to work with a shield? I
am working with a mom with very inverted nipples, very leathery inflexible
areola tissue and having trouble with any size nipple shield staying put at
all.There is no way it seems to draw the tissue into the tip. Baby balks like
crazy and is totally frustrated as a result till bottle appears. This woman is
in tears from wanting so much to bfeed and I am at a loss. Thanks, Ann
