Very happy to come by this video. I had a 35 week preemie our first few days were hectic with baby not latching well and giving up in the process. I am in Zimbabwe by the way and he would try but get so frustrated.we had resolved to pumping regularly with is really taking up all my time really. I hope this buy will be a game changer. He is a big eater lol

I share this often as an IBCLC and LLL Leader. I love this. It is calm and clear and helpful.

Very happy to come across this video, my baby is low birth weight, he is 13 days old . Each time I try to breast feed him, he doesn’t take it . I definitely gonna try the shield, hoping he will latch . Is it a common problem with babies with low birth weight ?

[Daymickey]

Oh snap! I love my nipple shield but I’ve been putting it on wrong this whole time! I was just placing it, not flipping it. Whoops!

[abhipsahota]

My baby is 1 and half month old. He is still not able yo latch properly. Can i start using nipple shield at this point to improve the latching issue? I have done everything to improve the latching issue. Still hebianjot able to do deep latch

My baby was born at 35 weeks and could not latch so the hospital gave me a couple kinds of nipple shields. He still really struggled so i ended up giving up after a couple of weeks and just bottle feeding him. I have still been practicing with him at night when its very quiet and calm at my house and it has helped but my nipples are in so much pain from his shallow latch and from the constant pumping 😭.
I wanted to go back to trying the nipple shields now that he is a little bigger and getting a better idea of latching but i discovered mouse droppings in the drawer where i had stashed the shields from the hospital. I ordered this medella kind so i can try them again when they arrive tomorrow.

Hi Yines! I found your channel while looking for videos on breastfeeding. I just wanted to say your channel is so helpful. I like your format and the way you explain things. Im sure ill be recommending your channel to anyone I know who needs info on breastfeeding. Thank you for the vids! ❤️

[anamatahashmi]

Oh my thank you so much, I was putting the shield on the wrong way but luckily my baby has been taking my milk fine.

[joselynfuentes]

I have a flat nipple! What can I do? Or what size do you suggest?

[AliceAgostino-sqtu]

Thank you for your video. My baby had a tongue tie when he was born he had to have a procedure to get it cut so I originally started using the nipple shield as he couldn’t latch properly on my breast. Ive been using it for 7 weeks now and really want to ween him off it but he just won’t take my nipple. My nipple is also quite small so there is a real difference between having the shield on and not. I’ve tried a nipple enlarger first to make it bigger and draw my milk down before I try and latch him and also I’ve tried starting with the shield on the half way through, taking it off, but he just won’t take it and gets really upset. I don’t want to give him a bad association with breastfeeding then I stop try. Do you any tips for other things I can try?

[JannetteAlvarado]

How will I know what size is correct? 🤔

[joelsibley]

You had me until you corrected yourself and said chest feeding. They are breasts lol

[jennifersmith]

While nursing with a shield the milk seems to leak out all over us. Is the shield too big or stretched out? I am using the size the lactation consultants suggested. Suggestions?

[shaylahwright]

I love your channel!!! Side note: I can’t get over how much ur voice sounds like Cardi B🤣

[YesToTech]

I've always wondered how to do this! This is insanely helpful! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

[elizabethwalsh]

Hi, I'm currently using a nipple shield due to latching issues after baby was in special care ward for first 5 days and given bottle. My breasts also have flat nipples and are large making it hard to latch. Baby is now 6 weeks. I plan to keep using nipple shield indefinitely. Do I need to pump after every feed using nipple shield?

[willowkendrick]

Thank you for posting. My baby has a high palate and we can’t wean off the shields. Do you have any tips please? She is 11 weeks.

[keylolo]

Will this help with pumping? My baby is 3 months old and refuses to suck. I've tried different size flanges and my nipple still gets sucked too far in after a while even on a low suction. I have the spectra pump. I'm becoming discouraged and might quit pumping. It takes an hour and a half just to get 8 oz for both breasts. I was getting more and its going down.

[aafreenrajpal]

Can you use a shield if your milk supply is too fast? Van it reduce th flow of the milk?
