Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)i read every book on breastfeeding before my son was born. i thought i had it figured out. what a huge shock when he was born and could not get him to latch on. not even for a tiny bit. the lactation consultant insisted i use a nipple shield. i kept refusing since every book i read says nipple shields were bad. in the end i broke down and used one and what a life saver! it's the only way i would have been able to nurse my child. we tried weaning him from the shield for months but all it did was cause stress and anxiety. i finally gave up and decided to use it as long as i needed it. i have been almost nursing for a year with this shield. i never had any kind of supply issues (no supplementing). i am so thankful these shields exist. breastfeeding was very important to me and made it possible.
UPDATE. my son weaned himself at 16months and i used the nipple shields the ENTIRE time with NO issues.
