 Hi there,

A few days ago I gave someone a nipple shield for my first time, and baby has
latched onto it.  Mom feels he is now a step closer to the breast.  She had
been cup feeding for 3 weeks.  After   2 days she hasn't been able to slip it
off and get him onto the breast, but will be patient.  However, I was
wondering about cutting pieces away gradually.  It's the thin silicone
shield.  Have you had experience with this as a way to wean from the shield?

Thanks, Paula Tripp, RN, IBCLC    Maine       The limericks are awesome!
