Ameda does make multiple size breast shields for their pumps, Ameda is 
Code compliant, and their parent company Evenflo has become WHO Code 
compliant under the guidance of NABA and Marsha Walker.

The lactation folks at Lansinoh labs are trying to influence Pigeon into 
Code compliance, but have not yet been successful.

And we can sell Medela products (I still use some of their feeding 
devices when they are the best choice for my clients), but we should not 
help to market (advertise, display, promote) them.

What disappoints me most about Medela's actions is their positioning of 
breast milk as a PRODUCT, which puts us in jeopardy of losing the 
process of BREASTFEEDING. It's one thing to acknowledge that with our 
culture, mothers can not always be with their babies, and another to 
make it seem that only the milk is important. I think this is even more 
important than showing nipples on their packages.

BTW, is there anyone else who thinks Medela's latest nipples/teats are 
far too long? I've been seeing more babies having difficulty going back 
and forth between breast and bottle when their mothers are using the 
newest Medela nipples...
