The Haakaa breast shield creates a bit more space between your nipple and your baby's mouth. If your baby bites, pulls away, or if you have inverted or flat nipples or sore nipples, you can still breastfeed comfortably and without pain thanks to the nursing shield. The shield easily attaches to your breast, allowing you to have both hands free to care for yourself and your baby. With the Haakaa breast shield, many moms can enjoy the beautiful aspects of breastfeeding without pain or discomfort.
