  • I used this in the hospital when we struggled with a latch. Me and the nurses could not get it to stay on and my baby couldn’t latch onto it either. Dec 05, 2023

  • Easy to lose Nov 06, 2023

  • Are you ready to give up breastfeeding like I was? Try this first and give it a shot. I was able to cont. breastfeeding and after two months, was able to remove the shield and still going w/ no pain! Oct 26, 2023

  • These helped my baby latch for the first month or two. Not ideal, but it helped her to keep going. These were essential in the early days while we established breastfeeding. Oct 25, 2023

  • Difficult to use personally Also make sure you size your nipples before purchasing to get correct size for comfort and good milk transfer Sep 23, 2023

    I was not a fan. It may have been human error, but these were not comfortable and did not necessarily help with painful matching. They easily slid off also. Sep 01, 2023

  • This nipple shield enabled me to get my baby to latch. She has a lip tie, tongue tie, and a high palate, so latching without this was very challenging. Aug 27, 2023

  • These definitely saved my breastfeeding journey. I had to use these for about 2 weeks before my nipple was conditioned perfectly to nurse without them. Aug 20, 2023

  • My baby had latching issues and we tried this shield. It was hit or miss but I think because my daughter was stubborn and later found had a small tongue tie. Aug 15, 2023

    My baby could never latch without a shield, these did the trick. Aug 13, 2023

  • I loved these with my first! Much needed. It helped during the beginning months when cracked and sore nipples are most common. Aug 04, 2023

  • I started using nipple shields when my little one was in the NICU. The shield really helped him feed more easily in his beginning few weeks of life. Aug 03, 2023

  • Really saved my breastfeeding journey! Was recommended by my lactation consultant when I was dealing with a shallow latch. I now recommend them to other moms who are dealing with the same thing. Jul 28, 2023

  • Never knew these existed until my Lact. Cons. showed them to me. A life saver when I felt like mine were going to fall off as a FTM w/a newborn. Jul 27, 2023

  • My first baby this was a life saver, she couldn't match and this allowed us to get her BF and I was able to ween her off after a couple months. Jul 07, 2023

  • I didn’t mind these shields. My biggest complaint is they slip around easy. I don’t know if that’s user error on my part, I’d try my best to get them ‘suctioned’ on but they did help with the pain. Jul 07, 2023

  • LOVEEE this , especially for moms whom have inverted nipples, Was used very often when baby was first born to ensure a latch. Jun 28, 2023

  • Used this for my son. We had difficulty with latching. They helped me be able to nurse my son. Jun 22, 2023

  • I used this the first couple weeks because my son had difficulty latching so this helped him to latch until we got familiar and in the groove of things. we ended up breastfeeding for 16 months! Jun 12, 2023

    Was a good transition when trying to get baby's latch to improve. worked well, although felt a little big for me. Jun 10, 2023

    Good if you need help latching due to oral ties. But easy to get lost. Try without if you can May 26, 2023

  • These helped when baby had difficulty latching. May 25, 2023

  • This saved my nursing relationship with my son. He struggled to nurse initially, and it helped him learn what to do while helping me keep my supply up and not having to exclusively pump. May 17, 2023

  • I couldn’t breastfeed without this. My son had a poor latch and this helped both of us! May 01, 2023

    My daughter had a hard time latching and the LC recommended this brand. The shields would easily peel off and the nipple seemed too stiff for baby to latch. Therefore, my baby never latched to these. Mar 22, 2023

  • I didn’t like this one it never stuck to me and felt weird. I did like that it had a storage container so I used that with my other brand that didn’t have a storage container Mar 21, 2023

  • For moms who have flat/inverted nipples! These worked great for me. My daughter had such a hard time latching and with these she was able to breast feed easily! Mar 06, 2023

  • Felt really nice and my daughter didn't have any problems latching with it Mar 04, 2023

  • This shield was a life saver. My first son did not latch properly, breastfeeding would not have been possible if it wasn't for these. He weaned off of them on his own after a few months. Mar 03, 2023

  • This was not my favorite nipple shield. Came off easily and caused a lot of frustration in the east days of breast feeding Feb 25, 2023

  • These were so flimsy and hard to use. I wasn't often successful. Feb 24, 2023

    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.
