Nipple Shields

[the_leh]

I have a love-hate relationship with nipple shields. I love them because they enabled my daughter to latch on in the beginning of our nursing relationship when she might not have otherwise. I hate them because I think they are given out too easily, and without warning the mother about the repercussions of using them.

What they are

A nipple shield

Would you mind editing it to include links to nursing stories of mentor moms who used nipple shields, please.
