Hi Doc, I am 40days mother now, I have been breastfeeding my little one ever since the day one. Lately my nipples seems a little sore and painful during feeds. Can I use Nipple Shield during feed? Or would you suggest an alternative?

A. hi improper latching may have resulted in this. take care that maximum areola is in mouth of child, lower lip is curled out and chin touches breast if nipple is cracked then apply breastmilk especially hind milk
