Nipple shields come in different sizes. It is important for them to be fitted to suit the size of individual mothers’ nipples, otherwise milk flow can be impeded and they can cause nipple damage. Nipple shields must be put on the breast correctly to optimise milk removal and comfort. It is therefore important to observe a breastfeed when a mother begins using a nipple shield to ensure the infant is able to remove milk well and the mother’s comfort is maintained. In most cases, use of a nipple shield is temporary. Some mothers find they only need to use the nipple shield in the early days while their infant is learning to breastfeed.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) runs the National Breastfeeding Helpline 1800 mum 2 mum (1800 686 268). The Breastfeeding Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is staffed by trained, volunteer counsellors who answer calls on a roster system in their own homes.
LiveChat is a mum 2 mum support service on the ABA website www.breastfeeding.asn.au.
Trained volunteers assist mothers and their families with breastfeeding information and are there to support mothers on their breastfeeding journey.
LiveChat is accessible via mobile phones, tablets, laptops and computers.
