RE/ the baby pulling the nipple through the shield, Does this
mother have a long side or shank on her nipple? This can cause
the nipple to be pulled in too far and also make it difficult for
the infant to latch deeply enough to access milk. I had one
patient with a nipple so long that the baby needed to grow
before being able to nurse effectively. The supply needs to be
protected until that time. Just a thought you probably assessed
this already.Chris Erland
