Anne and Margaret, Yes, use the nipple shield.  Baby has gotten addicted to
the "super-sign" of the finger.  It is longer, more rigid than mother's
nipple, and has created the same expectation a bottle teat would.  Baby
needs to be transitioned back to breast with something that feels familiar.
Move baby back to breast with shield and then wean off shield.
