Nipple shield?

Kassie

Anyone using nipple shields. Baby is 4 weeks tomorrow and seems to have a fine latch and eats literally all the time, but breastfeeding remains very painful for me, especially when he latches. I also have developed a bleb. When he was born, the hospital lactation specialist told me my nips were very flat and breastfeeding would be extremely hard, which I think put me in a negative mind frame to start, but it's so painful that i've been considering switching to formula, even though I don't want to, considering the benefits for me and baby. Could a nipple shield be helpful?
