Denise,
 
    Here! Here!  I agree wholeheartedly.  I  did not mean to sound like a 
nipple shield advertisement--just trying to  point out that there are warranted 
uses for them.  I am also aware of the  problems associated with people just 
using these shields  inappropriately.  I do not warrant nipple shields being 
passed out like  candy, but it is just as inappropriate for us to forbid using  
them.

However  I have seen heaps and heaps more clients who are on the verge of 
giving  up, whose babies are failing to thrive, who have had breastfeeding  
jeopardised by the inappropriate use of nipple shields.
Let's keep this  discussion balanced.
