  LLLI | Nipple Shields . . . Friend or Foe?
Initially, nipple shields were made of lead, silver, wax, wood, pewter, tin, bone, ivory, or glass, usually with some sort of gum elastic or rubber teat on which the infant could suck.
Although nipple shields are often recommended for mothers with sore nipples, their use does nothing to treat the cause of the soreness.
During the process of weaning from the nipple shield, it is essential for the mother to stay in close contact with the infant's health care provider in order to monitor the infant in terms of weight gain.

 eMedicine - Breast Reconstruction, Nipple-Areola Reconstruction : Article by Yoon Sun Chun, MD
Nipple size, position, projection, and color are determining factors in the aesthetic symmetry of the reconstruction, qualifying an otherwise nondescript flesh mound as the new breast.
Nipple sharing can potentially harm the only erogenous structure left in the woman's breast, as the surgeon must decrease the projection and alter the structure of the contralateral nipple to match the reconstructed one.
D is the diameter of the contralateral nipple, and the total length of the flap is twice the height (projection) of the contralateral nipple.

 Breastfeed.com: Nipple Shields
Nipple shields are synthetic nipples generally made of silicon, similar in appearance to bottle nipples.
Zimmerman finds that nipple shields are also frequently suggested to women who have flat or inverted nipples and this is likely inappropriate; in her experience, most babies can latch on without the use of such devices.
Zimmerman maintains that whatever the factors are that result in the use of nipple shields, it is of utmost importance for a breastfeeding mother to persistently try to feed the baby without the shields at regular intervals.

 Nipple Confusion - What it is and how to avoid it!
It is a problem that arises when a breastfed baby is given an artificial (rubber or silicon) nipple and must try to learn to nurse both from his mother's breast and the bottle nipple.
Nipple confusion includes not just the baby refusing the breast, but also the baby not taking the breast as well as he could and thus not getting milk well and /or the mother getting sore nipples.
It is the artificial nipple, which no mammal until man had ever used, and even man, not commonly before the end of the nineteenth century, which needs to be shown to be harmless.

Breastfed babies should not be given artificial nipples during the first three to four weeks when they are learning and perfecting their breastfeeding skills.

 kellymom.com :: Nipple blanching and vasospasm
Nipple blanching (turning white) after a feeding occurs when the blood flow to the nipple is limited or cut off.
When blanching is due to baby's compression of the nipple, the nipple is white and often misformed (flattened, creased, pointed, etc.) immediately upon coming out of baby's mouth.
When nipple vasospasm is caused by Raynaud's Phenomenon (Raynaud's of the nipple), the nipple turns white, then there is usually a noticeable triphasic color change - from white to blue to red - as blood flow returns.

 eMedicine - Breast, Nipple Discharge Evaluation : Article by Edward Azavedo, MD, PhD
An unusual cause of nonmalignant nipple discharge is duct ectasia with periductal galactophoritis, which is inflammation around dilated milk ducts.
The nipple is inspected to identify the orifice of secretion, and the direction and path of that duct is ascertained by gently pressing on the breast from different directions toward the nipple.
After the nipple is sterilized, a ductography cannula (ie, a needle with a blunt end) is gently inserted into the secreting orifice; both straight and right-angled cannulas are used.
