It didn't work for me - it actually ruined the whole breast feeding experience for me. I am a new mom myself and the nurse told my husband and me that it would be the best for us since I have a pretty large chest. We used it and then when the lactation specialist came she told us you only use it if you have flat nipples or inverted nipples so it was wrong for me. After that, my son wouldn't take to my nipple and the lactation specialist said it was because he was getting used to the plastic taste in his mouth. I would really read up on it and do what you think is best!
Good Luck!

In my experience, yes it does. I would put on the sheild and let the baby nurse when they were first hungry, then after they had gotten some milk and triggered my let down response then I would pump the rest. Eventually I was able to wean from the sheild and nurse exclusively.

I thought they were to protect the clothes from getting wet spots from the lactating breast.
