[quote=Anonymous]I used a nipple shield with my first for 6 months before she finally latched on her own (and I liked it so much I kept nursing her another 12 months to make up for the first 6 months I missed out on, ha). There are far more nipple shields out there than many LCs will tell you about, and the Medela nipple shield is pure crap, so if that's what you were given, find something new ASAP. The Medela shield doesn't stick, kept falling off, baby and i were miserable. I used NUK after the first few weeks and it was so much better. You can buy it on Amazon, and it comes with a carrying case, which is awesome. With #2, I only needed the nipple shield for the first week and only on one side, but the only one she would take was some fancy german "cherry shaped" one that my 2nd LC was kind enough to give me as part of her service. Highly recommend Susan Howard at Virginia Hospital Center if you're in VA - she came with a bag full of them for me to try.[/quote]
