Healthy-e learning posted a study on nipple shield use where the study was done in a hospital clinic staffed only by experienced IBCLC's.  12 month period.  1218 women seen with problems but only 44 were given shields.  Half of those babies gained weight of at least 1 oz, 25 % lost weight and 22 remained at same weight;  This gives a total of 47 % with failure to thrive.  I am wanting to post this study to get acrossed to our staff that nipple shields are not the first route to go when helping a baby who won't latch in the first 24 hours...:( or so.  However, I threw away my bibliography page and can't reference the study.  Does any one know the one I am talking about?
