Proper latch is important, but if you continue to struggle, you may still be able to continue breastfeeding. Nipple shields have helped many moms continue to breastfeed. For a variety of reasons, some babies are better than others with obtaining and sustaining latch.
If proper technique and positioning aren’t working for you, a shield might be helpful in teaching a baby to latch, especially if the baby is used to feeding from a bottle. This should be done with the help of a doctor trained in breastfeeding or a certified lactation consultant.
