has anyone used nipple shields?
I heard that they can be very good if the baby has problems latching on, or if your nipples are cracked. I don't have such problems, but my nipples get very sore (my milk doesn't flow very easily, so LO feeds for a long time).
I was wondering if the shields would help? But I would like to use them all the time (or, say, every third time but for the whole feeding time), not just for the first minute and not only for a few days, as some sites suggest...
