A. 0 idli nipple shield has not to be used every time but if there is any such problem like flat or inverted nipple then you can use nipple shield for better latching but maintain very good hygiene along with that

A. hi mam,for time being it is ok to use it. on long term usage ,it can create nipple confusion . if it is not possible to feed your child directly , you can express milk through hands or breastpump and offer it through katori and spoon.
