So Helpful!!

I had an emergency C-section so my milk didn't come in for almost a week... My son was nursing so much that my nipples were torn apart. This Shield was a great way to product my nipples long enough for them to heal. I don't recommend this being used 24/7 because his latch wasn't the best , but luckily only had to use the shield for a few days before being able to nurse normal again :) this product saved my nipples and saved me from quitting breastfeeding <3 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

After only 2 days of breast feeding, I had cracked and very painful nipples. They were bleeding. I went to see a lactation specialist who recommended this product. I have been using it since around the clock during my breast feeding. It still hurts sometimes when my baby initially latches on, but my nipples have healed and there are no more sign of redness or irritation.

Latch problems

My baby was having latch problems from birth, she wouldn't open wide enough to get a deep latch. The hospital provided me with at 20mm and I used that for 3 weeks and it worked great but now I am going to try and ween her off the shield all together so I bought this 16mm and it works great too. I would say if you are having latch problems or have flat/inverted nipples you should buy one or two of these. They are 100% worth it. Do not give up on breastfeeding! It's hard mentally and physically especially when baby has latch problems and is hurting your nipples but breastfeeding is so worth it! If you're having problems buy a shield and have a Lactation consultant teach you how to use it :)
