Why Nipple Shields Aren’t Always the Solution

Struggling with breastfeeding and using a nipple shield?
They can be a helpful tool for latch challenges—but they aren’t always a long-term solution. Over time, shields may reduce milk transfer and make it harder for baby to latch naturally.

Support breastfeeding by adding skin-to-skin, trying different positions, gentle nipple stimulation, and working with an IBCLC for personalized guidance.

Every breastfeeding journey is different—and support matters.
