Did Not Work For Us

I have flat nipples, I knew this from when I had my first and was unable to breastfeed because of a couple of the nipple issue and a severe lip tie. But I was still determined to breastfeed my second. When I saw the lactation consultant the day after my son was born, she recommended using this nipple shield. The hospital gave me one for free to use and try. My son hated it! Even more than trying to nurse with a lazy latch, flat nipples and no milk coming out. It just added this comically large silicone overlay to my nipple, it sticks out almost an inch. I don't really blame him for not liking it, it did seems extremely odd. I did give it 2 stars instead of one because according to that lactation consultant this is the best one on the market and it has helped thousands of moms be able to nurse who otherwise couldn't. Sadly I wasn't one of them.
