SAVING GRACE!!We used a 24mm medela nipple shield since the day after my daughters birth due to shallow latching. We went on with it for almost 4 months as she pretty much refused to nurse without it. I’d try feeding then take it off and latch her but she wouldn’t do it, she’d just get frustrated. So I gave in and bought this kit and it was worth it! Granted it did make my nipples sore because the way the baby pulls it through the shield but she didn’t need the shield after ONE DAY of use!! (Every baby is different though some will take longer). Customer service was wonderful - when I emailed them about the “rubbing” of my...
1. Breastfeeding is an adjustment. Although breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful and natural things a mother can do for her baby, it also tends to come with a bit of a learning curve.

GUEST POST BY: Bri (an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Registered Nurse and Certified Educator of Infant Massage) It’s no secret that the road into parenthood can be rocky but I have a secret weapon to smooth out your journey. Hey there! I’m Bri. I love teaching about all things boobs, babies, and breastfeeding. One common theme I’ve noticed is that many parents are terrified of tiny baby teeth. They ask if they need to wean their baby and stop breastfeeding at the first sign of teething. My answer: no way! I want you to meet your breastfeeding goals. Nothing so tiny in size is going to derail you! Plus some babies start teething at a young age when breastmilk is...
