<<<<"Sometimes I have the mother soak it in hot tap water 
for a minute or two, since it seems to help it stay on 
more securely.">>>>

I have had a few moms who would keep the nipple shield in 
their bra (not on the nipple just between their breasts)in 
between feeds.  They said that when the silicone was warm 
it would mold to the breast and stay put much better.  
They also always knew where it was! :-)

I do teach to turn sl. inside out when putting on, mainly 
for the reason that it helps it to stay put.  With flailing 
arms everything helps.  But it does help to get the breast 
tissue pulled into the nipple part faster.
