I have used supple cups most effectively before milk comes in or during last part of pregnancy.  They tend to fall off quickly once milk is in.

Hi Jackie,

Glad you posted. You are right babies are supposed to be able to latch to the breast, but doesn't it seem so much easier with a perky breast and everted nipple? I can't explain it, but it seems the nipple is necessary to extend to the back of the tongue. It seems without that, the baby just can't grasp and control the milking of the breast.

In your case example, I would certainly try a nipple shield but first putting baby in breastfeeding positions to bottle feed as he is used to.

Eventually seeing if he would make the switch to latching to the shield. In the meantime, I've heard of some moms having success with supple cups see link below (no financial interest).
