If you are keen to continue breastfeeding and need some help to cope,
a nipple sheild can be useful.
Then one of the nice maternity nurses came in with
a nipple sheild and said don't listen to those meanies, try this... and my daughter latched within a minute!!
Not exact matches
Finally I just offered the breast without the
sheild (my
nipples were finally protruding on their own).
I had an additional problem with a hyperactive let - down, my daughter would gag, choke and come flying off the
nipple when I let - down, therefore the
sheild was helping buffer that.
