What it Really Looks Like: Getting a Deep Latch With a Nipple Shield
If you’ve been trying to get a deep latch with a nipple shield — but it feels impossible — you’re not imagining it. Shields can make it harder to get a good latch.
But harder doesn’t mean impossible.
In this 5-minute unscripted coaching session, you’ll see a new parent working with her baby’s natural reflexes — and a nipple shield — to find a deeper, better latch. No force, no frantic juggling, and no feeling like she needs three extra hands.
What's inside this What it Really Looks Like session:
- ➤ How to position your baby so their chin lands just under the shield
- ➤ How to avoid pushing the shield in (and what to do instead)
- ➤ How to know when to support your breast — and when to let go completely
- ➤ What to try when your baby slides shallow after a good start
- ➤ How to guide your baby forward using reflexes — not force
