Hi Lactnetters,
Could anyone share their experiences with moms increasing their milk
supplies while using a nipple shield?
Mom was given shield to use right after first attempted latch on in hospital
was not successful. It took mom 12 weeks to wean baby from shield by then
milk supply was gone. She attempted to increase supply while using shield
but not even nursing every 15 minutes helped. Mom contacted me after she
weaned baby to formula because she feels cheated and has a strong desire to
get pregnant right away just so she can breastfeed again. She wants to know
why she could not increase milk supply and was the problem fully due to the
shield? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
