Customer Review: Mother of six breastfed babies . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased one of these shortly after my sixth child was brought home. After having suffered with Mastitis several times with my last two babies, I was desparate to not have to go through it again! The shield is a lifesaver. My daughter had no problems latching on the very FIRST time and has been happily nursing since! My breasts healed in three days and I am planning on using the shield until she is at least twelve weeks old to make sure her mouth is big enough to latch on correctly! I would recommend buying TWO because they are very easy to lose. I keep mine washed and dried in a tupperware cup and keep it with me to store after I nurse. It is very simple and easy to use. I will recommend this to anyone who is suffering from sore nipples!Customer Review: hated the breast shield
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first had my baby I wished I was going to be that mother that didn't get any "weird" sensations when the baby breast fed but ultimately it was such an intense nasty feeling that I had to decide to pump and feed him with a bottle even though I wanted to breast feed him so bad. Then I heard of the nipple shields and quickly purchased one. It turns out to be bulky and an awkward nipple for the baby to latch a hold of. My baby could definitely latch on to my nipple way easier. I thought maybe it would take away some of the nasty sensations or maybe all but no such luck. I'm sure women out there that don't get that sensation when the baby nurses could benefit from the nipple shield if their only problem was chapped and bleeding nipples.Customer Review: Life-saver product!
Summary: 5 Stars
My lactation consultant suggests me against this product as she thinks I can never rely on its assistantship for ever. I took her adivce and started breastfeeding right after the emergency C-section,when I had only limited colostrum supply.Disappointedly,I got terrible nipple soreness from both baby's biting and nipple engorgement.I then swtiched to pumping but it still hurt. This prodcut came as my last straw.Fortunatly,IT WORKS!!Thought sometimes the shield did not stay right in place, it provided the best protection.Even when my baby occasionally bit my breast, there was no hurt anymore. My baby seemed to enjoy going back to skin-to-skin contact as my breastfeeding interrupted for a week.Customer Review: nipple pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never written a review, but after 2 weeks of horrible nipple pain during latch on with my newborn, and two appointments with a lactation consultant, she recommended I try this product due to the damage to my nipples. Thank goodness I did, as I am now feeding without pain. I was ready to give up despite my total desire to breastfeed as the pain was excruciating. I am hoping to use these until my nipples heal and then remove. Please see a lactation consultant if you are having any difficulty with breastfeeding, the investment is well worth it, and please try these before giving up on nursing if you are having problems related to nipple pain and soreness.Customer Review: Great if neccessary
Summary: 4 Stars
Having succesfully used this to nurse my daughter for 9 months and counting, I can say with certainty that it does not diminish milk supply. At least in my case it did not. I had inverted nipples and without a great lactation consultant to turn to, I might have had to use formula. This allowed me to continue breastfeeding instead. Now that I know about my nipples, however, I am going to work hard with a lactation consultant with my next child to make sure that I am ready to nurse him or her without the need of this product. Overall, great product if neccessary, but if you have access to a lactation consultant try to get around having to use this.
