Nipple Shields
Nipple shields are artificial nipples usually made of silicone that you place over your own nipple to help your baby latch on. They can salvage breastfeeding when moms are ready to completely give up on trying to latch. We recommend only using a nipple shield after trying all our other tips and tools on positioning and latching. If you are considering using a nipple shield, you can read more here. We strongly encourage you to contact us for in-person help if you want to use a nipple shield.
