I'd like some ideas
from others' experience with this particular one too, please.
What about a mom with huge nipples, baby with small mouth, and suckling
strongly, but can't latch deeply enough, so painful nipples, and inadequate
milk transfer? How can we help?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

- if you've tried everything else for good latch without success,
consider nipple shield.

Dear Friends:
Will someone please explain to me how a nipple shield can help in such a
situation? A nipple shield large enough for a large nipple will perforce
still be too large for the baby's mouth, won't it?
What about expressing and bottle-feeding until the baby grows big enough?
warmly,
