Q.

I am using nipple shield because my baby is not able to match properly. Today all of a sudden she's started crying as soon as I try to get her. I am thinking this is because of shield her mouth or the nerves are hurting due to feeding for so long. am I right about this? Does nipple shield hurt babies while feeding?

A. Nipple shield is hundred percent safe to be used to need not worry about it that’s completely alright it is not going to create trouble to the child is very soft so don’t worry about that maybe your child is not hungry and crying just due to stomach pain
