Nipple shields? 😂

Question

Answer

Worth it but, I would wait to buy them. Most lactation specialists will size you and provide them while you’re in the hospital after delivery.

Answer

The Hakka is not supposed to be used for the 1st 6 weeks... just thought I’d put this out there for some! 💙💙💙

Answer

I really struggled breast feeding my first child and nipple shields made a huge difference for us

Answer

You might find that you don’t actually need them. My daughter was tongue tied but our specialist helped me fix it so that I wouldn’t need shields or her tongue clipped. I’d have them ready to order but wait until after baby comes. You’ll know pretty quickly if you need them

Answer

My son was in the NICU for 10 days and these really helped me during that time! However, after we were home it took a long time to wean him from them. I felt like I was a slave to the nipple shield and couldn’t feed my son unless I had it. It was a relief when I finally got him to latch well without it. I would suggest really trying to breastfeed without it and having it only as a last resort.

Answer

I got them free from the hospital, I would try that first but it is worth it if they work for you!

Answer

I found using a nipple cream worked perfectly if you’re using the shield for protection against soreness!

Answer

You can usually get one from the lactation consultant in the hospital.  I used it with my first until she got the hang of nursing.
