    Nipple shields are for latch on difficulties. They are made of thin silicone, and worn only when breastfeeding the baby. They must not be worn between feedings. Only use nipple shields when recommended to you by a professional (lactation consultant, or physician).

    Now available in three sizes Newborn Regular, Newborn Small, and Newborn Extra Small. The Newborn Regular, 24mm diameter shield, is unchanged. A new size 20mm shield has been added. It will now be known as the Newborn Small size. The old Newborn Small size, 16mm diameter shield, will now be called the Newborn Extra Small. The mm measurement refers to the size opening at the base of the nipple shield. It is not a measurement of the nipple.

    The Utterly Yours Breast Pillow
    is designed to make breastfeeding a more comfortable hands free process. The breast pillow provides support for the breast for optimal breast positioning to nurse. Poor positioning can lead to poor latch and sore nipples. Many moms, particularly those with larger breasts, have to constantly hold their breast in position for the baby to nurse. This wedge shaped pillow (it is shaped like an orange segment) placed under the breast can lift the breast into position. The breast pillow is easy to use - squeeze the breast pillow in your hand to make it a flatter wedge, then place the straight shorter edge of the wedge under the breast. Release the pillow. The wedge expands and lifts the breast.
