FAQ: When should I use a nipple shield?

Nipple shields are used for: flat or inverted nipples that make latching difficult, sore or damaged nipples needing protection during healing, premature babies who have difficulty maintaining latch, and babies transitioning from bottle to breast. Always consult a lactation consultant before using nipple shields long-term, as they can affect milk transfer if not used correctly.

FAQ: Can nipple shields affect milk supply?

Correctly fitted nipple shields should not reduce milk supply if baby is latching well and transferring milk effectively through the shield. However, poorly fitted shields or those used without professional guidance can reduce stimulation to the nipple and areola, potentially affecting supply over time. Seek lactation consultant support if using nipple shields regularly.
