 A Godsend - Takes the Bite Out of Nursing July 16, 2009
I. Berryman (Tumwater, WA USA)

Hallelujah! I had the hardest time in the beginning breastfeeding my daughter. She didn't latch correctly but yet had a very firm latch, so she literally took skin off of my nipples. Obviously it was extremely painful. I would wince in pain when she latched on, but once she was on it was ok. I freaked out after I saw blood near her head in her crib, but it was my blood from my nipples dripping out of her mouth! Aack! So I finally got a clue and saw a lactation consultant. Thank God for that profession. I showed her my nipples and she said that other women would have quit breastfeeding by then. But I was determined to breastfeed. She introduced me to these nipple shields, and I started using them right away. What a difference it has made! No more pain and baby and I are both happy as can be nursing! I now own 5 of these, I wash them periodically with soap and water and keep them in a Ziploc bag. It's handiest for me to wash them while I am showering. I keep two in a Ziploc bag in my diaper bag in case I forget to bring the other ones, which has happened.
The lactation consultant initially told me to eventually discontinue them when my daughter learned to latch correctly, but I am still using them and plan to do so the entire time I nurse because my pre-nipple shield experience was extremely painful.
I only wish I found them sooner, and I recommend them to any mother that is experiencing latching problems or inverted nipples. They truly are a wonderful product that I could not live without.
So helpful! March 22, 2007

I have short nipples, and using the shield was an excellent way to train my little girl to latch on and pull my nipple out. Breastfeeding alone was so difficult at the beginning, but once a lactation consultant introduced these plus the medela nursing supplementer, we were good to go. I highly recommend for those having difficulties with latch on.
A must for new moms August 5, 2008

I love this product. It is so great for anyone with inverted nipples or "problem nipples" who is trying to breast feed. Without this my daughter would be formula-fed only. You just turn it inside out, place over the nipple, and pull the edges out. It suctions onto your nipple and you are now able to nurse the baby! Not only is it easy to use (after some practicing) once you get the hang of it, but it is easy to take with you. It has lasted 9 weeks so far with 8 or more feedings a day. It cleans up well and is very transportable. I never leave home without it!
nipple pain September 10, 2009

I have never written a review, but after 2 weeks of horrible nipple pain during latch on with my newborn, and two appointments with a lactation consultant, she recommended I try this product due to the damage to my nipples. Thank goodness I did, as I am now feeding without pain. I was ready to give up despite my total desire to breastfeed as the pain was excruciating. I am hoping to use these until my nipples heal and then remove. Please see a lactation consultant if you are having any difficulty with breastfeeding, the investment is well worth it, and please try these before giving up on nursing if you are having problems related to nipple pain and soreness.
Breastfeeding at 9 months and still going strong January 26, 2010
VLP (Spartanburg, SC USA)

I pumped for the first 2 months because my baby wouldn't latch. I tried everything including many trips to a lactation consultant. She was a "tongue thruster" as they would say. After 2 months I was completely worn out from pumping and my dreams of breastfeeding seemed like they were gone. I had bought this shield at the beginning but was afraid to use it because of worries of decreased supply, etc. Well I was away from my husband for a week at my parents and pumping and feeding her by myself left me no time for sleeping during the night so I figured it was now or never. I tried the shield and since it was so similar to the bottles she had been using she did way better latching then normal. I tried removing it after 2 mins like it said and it never worked. She will be 9 months on Friday and I have been breastfeeding with the shield 100% of the time since then. I have bought an extra one as a backup but my original is still working. The best money I ever spent for her. Thank you Medela for another great product.
