Considered purchasing it (my imperfectly-shaped right nipple was getting wounds from incorrect latching) but tried to give nipple cream a go first, as well as working on the latch trying different techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfEV2oLRQy4 Fortunately this worked for me and didn't have to get nipple shield.

I have tried it at the hospital after giving birth. personally I didn't think it helped. the nurses gave to me cos I had slightly inverted nip on one side. still this shield gave me a bleeding nip .. so I think it's useless haha

I have tried this, but it doesn't really helped at all, my baby was fussing over this and I couldn't breastfeed him with my sore nipples, had to apply nipple cream and latch ln the other breast

i've tried it. but i personally felt it as a hindrance as my lo has no issue with latching even when my nipple is sore, he refuse to latch with this. it will work if you have inverted nipples

I personally do not advocate the use of nipple shield as it encourages bad latch. If you wish to latch your baby, consider seeking help from a lactation consultant.
