Tricia,
Oh my goodness. I really have no advice other than the SNS with formula in it- that might be explained to mom as being a "way back": to the breast. But I am seriously suggesting that someone report the offering of a choice between a shield and a bottle, especially so soon after birth. That is just not appropriate, and should be handled before she (the nurse) messes up any more couplets.
Is the baby being followed by a doc?
Good luck.
