But would the BABY fit around those larger shields?  And be able to compress
the nipple/areolar complex?  I find that when I need to use the current
"regular" shield that many babies have difficulty getting beyond just the
nipple shank as it is.  I wonder if a larger nipple shield would compound a
problem?  Sometimes I wonder if in some cases the baby just has to grow a
bit.....
