This topic intrigues me.  I have heard of a few ways of putting on a nipple shield, but I have not seen that it makes any difference, in practice, in how the nipple shield is placed.  Maybe it depends on the mom's nipple size to begin with.  I've had moms turn them halfway inside out and placing over the nipple, turning right side out and tugging on top and bottom and the shield just falls off and the mom picks it up and plops it right back on and it looks the same.  I've also had them turn them completely inside out, but without a nipple, or with just a smallish nipple, the end results looks the same.
   
  I imagine that if the mom has somewhat a nipple to begin with and the smallest nipple shield is used, the nipple theoretically could be pulled slightly into the shield because of the drag from the sides, but there cannot be any vacuum since there is holes in the end of the shield.  What is the theory behind these "technogical" ways of fitting, because I'm not seeing any difference in where the nipples ends up or how the shield sits?
