Nipple shields are worn over your nipple and areola while you are nursing. Some situations when they might be helpful include:
- Flat nipples
- Inverted nipples
- Breastfeeding a premature baby
Just remember that they are not for long-term use and should be used under the supervision of a lactation consultant. The consultant can help you use the nipple shield properly and fix the underlying breastfeeding problem.
