<<<This infant is probably not gaining because the moms supply is
significantly diminished due to the early and continued use of the
shield.>>>>

Yesterday I had (another) phonecall of a mother whose milksupply was
seriously decreased by the use of nipple shields. The baby was in danger.

These nipple shield are given out by maternity nurses, like pieces of cake! :(
