    The idea is nipple shields reduce the amount of stimulation that the nipples receive and can lead to supply issues when used over a period of time.

    However they can be quite useful when used for a short periods to get past a crisis - but preferably with the assistance of a LC for additional strategies.

    I found them easy to position B456 so you prob. did put them on right.
