Last resort... worked like a miracle Jan 06, 2009
By L. Torstensen
"MommyTof3"
I was determined to breastfeed my son but never imagined how many issues we would encounter. First I got a yeast infection in my nipples which caused excruciating pain so I pumped and bottle fed until that cleared up. Then we discovered that he had a tongue tie that needed to be clipped. I was so hopeful that he would be able to latch correctly after that but he still couldn't stay on and my pain never stopped. I went to the hospital where he was born and saw a lactation consultant who watched him nurse (or try to) and realized that I had a large milk supply and overactive let down, so he was pretty much choking when he tried to suck. That coupled with the fact that he still hadn't 'learned' how to use his tongue correctly yet made it almost impossible. She gave me this shield and he immediately latched on and guzzled!!! We are hoping that he won't need this forever, but in the meantime it has literally saved our breastfeeding relationship. I would recommend seeing a lactation consultant BEFORE using this since they have ways to help without needing a shield and they also tell you how to stop your supply from getting low and how to prevent mastitis etc while using this product.
Blessings!

Love It Mar 01, 2008
By Denise

My daughter was small when she was born and we had trouble latching on. The nurse went and got a nipple shield and an hour later she was eating away. I have been using this since she was born almost two months ago and I have yet to notice any decrease in my milk supply. Highly recommend this product if you have trouble latching on. Don't give up it takes time. Also this product is very thin so the baby can still smell your milk and you still feel everything that you would without using one.

Couldn't breastfeed without one! Feb 14, 2007
By Ida Egenberger-Gutierrez
Very helpful if you're having trouble with baby latching on and can't get to a lactation consultant right away (It's what they give you anyway when baby can't seem to latch on properly)
Since my baby boy was born on July 3rd and the fourth is a holiday, we couldn't get to a lactation consultant when we needed to. Because of this, he lost more than the safe 10% of body weight since he couldn't latch on properly. If I had this when he was born it would have alleviated much of my new-mom stress.

Works great, the little cut out allows baby to breathe easier! Jan 14, 2012
By M. Master

Our baby was having a hard time since birth latching on to the nipple so we had to supplement him with the bottle. We tried a Medela nipple shield from Toys 'R Us but it's the one that is a full circle. It does the job but the silicone gets in the way of our baby's nose restricting his breathing to some extent. The nipple shield is now the only way we can get our baby to breast feed, so I ordered this one to try it out and it works better than the full circle we picked up from Toys 'R Us. This model has a cut out that doesn't get in the way of the baby's breathing.
Excellent product and without it our baby would not be able to breastfeed! We highly recommend this for all parents who are having difficulty with latching.

Great Aug 16, 2011
By Tiffany
This is the only way I've been able to get my daughter to nurse! Although, it is sort of painful, maybe I need to try a larger size??
