 Try this before you give up on breastfeeding! October 6, 2008

This product allowed me to breastfeed my son despite having "flat" nipples. I never knew I had "flat" nipples because they aren't actually flat, but they would get soft after breastfeeding for only a few seconds and then my son was unable to maintain his latch. These shields gave me the capability to breastfeed. The notch where his nose goes was nice because it made it easier for him to breathe comfortably and it allowed for more skin-to-skin contact. My only complaint is that it didn't stick well enough to my skin and if my son so much as bumped it wrong, it would break the suction and send the milk in the shield running down me. It was hard to keep in place when he was really hungry and rooting wildly. Overall, this is a great product. I just wish I could have breastfed without anything at all, but it wasn't meant to be!
Great product September 25, 2008
Cassandra J. Cates (Orlando, Florida)
I couldn't get my baby to latch at all during first 24 hrs of birth. All the nurses tried to help and he'd get on for maybe 2 seconds, we have multiple nursing lactation consultants come in to help and they had no luck. Finally after 24 hrs one of them recommended this because my poor baby was frustrated and starving.
One of my nipples is still sore but that's because of how I am putting him on I think because my other one I can barely feel now when he's on and he's almost 2 weeks old. I used lanolin on the sore one and it's not so bad when I get him at the right angle.
This is really easy to clean to. Between feedings just wash with little soap and warm/hot water then I keep it in a sealed bowl near my bed for feedings. It helps when you can't get baby to eat and you still want that bonding and contact!
 The only thing that kept us nursing... June 19, 2008
Megs (Boston)
My baby was born 3 weeks early and although she seemed to be latching on correctly, we discovered a big problem when I began bleeding after 4 days due to cracked nipples! I didn't want to abandon nursing, so through the aid of a lactation consultant, I continued to nurse using this... If I didn't have it, I don't think we would have lasted! We are going on 3 weeks now, and I think that this shield will help buy us time while my little girl grows big enough to nurse properly without the shield. Even while still being sore, I can tolerate the pressure of her gums. Otherwise, the pain and cracking would have stopped me for sure. I plan to buy 2 more to keep around as back-ups. Whoever invented this should be sainted!

The name attached is my husbands but anyway. Our daughter was full-term but under wieght because of scarring on the placenta. She had a very difficult time latching on and sucking because of her tiny mouth and my not so tiny breast. We also found that I had and inversion problem as well. When the nipple shield was introduced, she had no issues attching and getting down to business. Make sure that you have the right size but seeing a lactation consultant or your doctor. We started with the 24mm and it was too big for both of us. The 20mm was a perfect fit for both of us. Also, a tip to keep them in place without falling off or flipping up use a touch of lanolin on the rim and it will stick without any troubles and no leaking if they fall asleep with milk in thier mouth.
