Your post reminded me of a saying I once heard. "Nobody ever always or 
never." I think that is applicable here. A previous poster described my 
situation - in hospital, 90% inductions, 99% with epidurals, 30% c/sections. I 
always give babies the opportunity to self latch, but as she noted, I've got to 
watch blood sugars, temps, etc. I try to take my lead from mom. Many seem 
anxious to get the baby latched and I've seen some ready to give up if the 
baby doesn't do so in 2.3 seconds. Often, I've been the labor nurse for a 
number of hours and have some sense of how she feels about being 
helped/touched. For me the key is give them time, but intervene if/when 
needed. Like you, Winnie, nipple sheilds, formula and such are my last option, 
but if that is what it takes to keep her nursing - I do it. Deb
