Im not 100% certain.....Williamsons Chemist!
me and my partner was in picking up a prescription and i am sure i saw them there!

Any price will do!
If I had wanted pierced nipples I would have paid to have it done!

Lol! Well as far as i know a pierced nipple costs £30-£40! So i dont think the nipple sheilds are that much! ;)
I pitty you for it tho! Must be sore! I had mastitus, ulcers, blisters, and was gettin blood instead o milk so had to stop feedin after 5 weeks! :~(
Yep I had it all with my 1st (Lauren) if my mum hadnt tried to get me to stop feeding her and me being to thrawn to do what she said I would have given up there and then but with the 2nd (Iona) if she doesnt stop biting I am going to give up as its too sore!
damn I wish I wasn't nosey!
That'll teach me! (hopefully)
told you... The title said it all!!

Funny you should say that *Martin*.:eek:
Well, nipple chaffing is a major problem in this day and age what with polyester and suchlike materials so it's everyones problem.
I too looked with the intention of sticking my oar in but suddenly changed my mind decided I'd better keep my mouth shut, or perhaps I'd better rephrase that to decided to say nowt. :eek:
funny how men are so squeemish at times!!!!:evil
but back on the original question, Sutherlands chemist did have them a while back, i got them early last year, the nice comfey silicone ones, (the ones williamsons had at one time were hard plastic ring which i couldnt get to work well)
failing that, boots may have them in store, if not then online
Thanks
Ladies!
Yep thought the title would have kept the men out but I suppose it was like putting up a wet paint sign they just have to look and see:lol:

oh really pity you, have breast fed all my kids unto they were about 2 the youngest one is only 6 weeks, and i cant say i have had a problem with any of them using their teeth, apart from the my 2 year old whe i fed him the only time he did bite was when he fell asleep and forgot he had something inbetween his teeth, ouch

Ouch! I do wish i could have continued feeding tho! :~( The hospital NEVER showed me how to latch my son on so i thought i was doing it correct....obviously not! I did ask them several times to help but got none! :(
The day i had to switch to bottle feeding broke my heart! Maybe if i can push the OH to have more kids i will get it right then! Shame he has 3 sons already and dont want more.......bribery???? [lol]

Lol Moonboots u crack me up! Sure Mary would no be pleased! [lol]
Alana is bottle feedin! She did with Michael so she is doin it with the next baby! She said its not for her which is fair enough! Some folks prefer not to breast feed!
Moonboots.....did u blush as soon as u read breast feeding! Most men do! ;)

Ouch I do pity you tho I was fortunate neither of mine had teeth while I breasted them, but my mum told me my little bro used to bite her at 3mths when he got his first tooth and he'd laugh at her reaction!!:Razz So she stopped soon after!! :eek: Hope you manage to keep going and maybe Iona will give up once she realizes biting isn't the best way to get milk!

lol... wot me blush. u must be joking.......
Its mother nature... In the old old days were they given bottles... Nope!!!
A breast is the total feed which a child needs. even me lol...
So Alana not doing it.. she is too frightened to lose them lol
All I can say is at least you tried it... good for u too....
Ye s I tried all the tricks I did with Lauren ... pushing her head in to make her let go rather than letting her pull her head back while still attached... not reacting wth a loud ouch... removing the boob when bitten.. now I have bought the protectors I have a new problem...how do you use them to get a good seal?
