Q.

My baby is 6 days old. My nipples are flat, so my baby is not latching properly and not taking breast milk. If I use a nipple shield, will it help my baby feed? After some time, can my baby learn to latch directly without the shield?

A. Babyhug nipple shield is good Women with Flat or inverted nipples actually benefit from this because it helps in giving better grip and direct latching is not possible because with Flat nipples they don’t get that grip and the nipple shield is formulated in such a way that the child is going to get a grip on a nipple so it’s important that way and if you want you can also take a support of lactation doctor this time
