These can be useful, but it took me a month to wean my baby off the shield. Kind of a pain to put on each time and clean. Also can compromise milk supply, so I would only use if necessary! (Nov 16, 2016)

used this on my daughter for the first few weeks as she was a preemie. It did its job, but ultimately i ended up exclusively pumping so didn't use it for long. Jul 31, 2023

I don't love nor Regret. They just didn't work for me. I will try again with baby #2 Nov 08, 2022

This was a life saver. I desperately wanted to nurse, my son was 3 weeks early and it took some extra dedication to get him to nurse, this shield made the biggest difference. Sep 20, 2022

I used these for my second baby and it helped him latch better and protect my nipples from damage. If your baby is struggling to breastfeed this might help. Mar 02, 2022

These did not reduce the discomfort of breastfeeding and, in fact, contributed to blocked ducts. Would not recommend. Aug 26, 2021
North Potomac, Maryland
Lactation specialist at the hospital gave me these to use because I have inverted nipples and it was hard for me to breastfeed. These definitely helped! Jul 16, 2021

This SAVED me in my early breast feeding days. Keeps your nipples from getting raw. Highly recommend to get even if you don't need it. Because when you do need it you'll need it right then. Feb 20, 2021
Sugar City, Idaho
These have saved me so much! I had horrible cracked nipples and these helped so much and helped to get my baby back to my breast. I am so grateful of this product! Nov 05, 2020
Denver, Colorado
I realize these were designed for problems like latch issues, etc. I found breast feeding to be painful and these made it so much more more tolerable. No nipple cracking, soreness, etc. with these. Sep 13, 2020

Love/ Hate relationship! Did the job but my LO became dependant on them and I had to order another set because I kept losing them. The carrying case is great for travel and super easy to use! Sep 05, 2020

Got one from the hospital and bought more once I left Helped my son latch from the day he was born! Aug 08, 2020

This is helpful if you have a damaged nipple that needs to heal or if your lo has latching issues. It’s best to use this sparingly to avoid not transferring milk effectively leading to clogged ducts. Jun 05, 2020
Greensboro , North Carolina
I will forever be grateful to these for allowing me to nurse my daughter when she struggled to latch on my flat nipples. Make sure an IBCLC teaches you how to put them on correctly. Apr 29, 2020

Did the job, but hated having to use and wash it every time. Apr 21, 2020

Bluefield, West Virginia
My little one used a Medela shield, and it wias fully round and we loved it! I ordered this one to try, and the cutout at the top made it difficult and did not work for us. I hate I wasted my money. Jul 24, 2019
Sparta, New Jersey
This product saved me and my LO’s breastfeeding experience! My LO has a hard time latching because my nipple doesn’t go out far enough for her. She latches immediately to this and stays latched! May 18, 2019
Mccleary , Washington
I had to use this for the first few weeks of nursing due to pain from a bad latch and it worked great! This product didnt cause nipple confusion and allowed my baby to get milk out May 04, 2019
Novato, California
We had to pump and bottle feed, after that we struggled to convert back from bottle to breast This was suggested to us to help with the transition. It wouldn't stick, constantly fell off. Apr 26, 2019

The lactation specialists ask you not to use these and I understand why. However, they really helped with protection/feeding in the first few days. Apr 23, 2019
Casper, Wyoming
Ok so having to use a shield is not ideal but it helped me nurse while LO was in the nicu for a couple nights and a couple weeks home from the hospital before weaning off of it. Helped a ton! Mar 28, 2019
Boston, Massachusetts
Lifesaver for me when I first gave birth to my son, and was having latch issues that were resulting in cracked nipples. Mar 20, 2019
Niagara Falls, New York
The only nipple shield that my baby would actually latch onto. Gave good transfer of milk, and had a great shape for baby. Perfect size and healed cracked nipples without any creams or meds. Mar 11, 2019
Monticello, Indiana
I needed this with all 3 of my kids. These helped me number my children for over 5 years combined. Without this, I wouldn’t be able to have a successful nursing releationship with my children. Feb 08, 2019
Carlsbad, California
This helped my baby to lach properly so I am not in pain during the feeding. Feb 03, 2019
Limington, Maine
This nipple shield saved my breastfeeding relationship with my son. I had very flat nipples and a jaundiced baby who we could not rouse long enough to get a good latch until my LC gave me this shield. Jan 06, 2019
Elk grove, California
Didn’t come in a larger size so I was in pain after using it Oct 14, 2018
Stillwater, Minnesota
Saved my nursing experience with my second. After nipple confusion this worked wonderfully to get her to latch again. Was difficult to wean off of, but worth it! Aug 05, 2018
madison, Wisconsin
Didnt do much except frustrate me and my baby. Hard to keep on, but does the job. Jul 07, 2018
Woodland , California
I like this one better than the others. The cutout was better for baby's nose as it was always squished against mama. Jun 18, 2018
Norton Shores, Michigan
I don't think I would have continued breastfeeding if I wasn't introduced to a shield. This Shield was the only break my nipples had in the early days when they were sensitive and bleeding. May 13, 2018
Larkspur, California
I have a pretty intense letdown on one breast and my daughter was pulling off during nursing. This was a lifesaver for us both! May 08, 2018
Great Falls , Montana
This helped me be able to breastfeed my newborn and now we no longer need it. It’s very soft and washes easily Apr 30, 2018
Knoxville, Tennessee
I tried this because my flow was way too fast for my little one, so my pediatrician recommended a shield. I can understand its many purposes but my baby didn’t like it one bit. Apr 18, 2018
Kirkland, Washington
It did not work for me and my baby. Nipple part of the shield was too big. And it was taking too long to get milk output that baby would get frustrated before the flow is established. Apr 15, 2018
Faribault, Minnesota
I was given this in the hospital when I had my baby. I didn’t like it at all. It didn’t help my baby latch any better. It made it kind of worse, she did better without this. Apr 06, 2018
Eaton, Colorado
They work but they don't stay on very well, even using lanolin. Mar 12, 2018
Mullica Hill, New Jersey
My daughter would only nurse with these. It didn't affect my supply at all, in fact I was able to pump close to 20oz per day and feed her mornings & nights with the shield. Had one in every bag! Mar 10, 2018
Edmond, Oklahoma
This is the only thing that got me through breastfeeding. My baby wouldn't be able to without it. Does also protect and reduces discomfort. Mar 05, 2018
Jacksonville, Florida
DD has a lip tie. Dr recommended/DH bought. I wasn't impressed. It constantly fell off or curled back over DD face & still couldn't latch properly. I ended up just toughing it out even with a blowout! Mar 02, 2018
