Colored Nipple Shield System

Didn't stick for more than 2 days

My IBCLC recommended I use shields because of baby's high palette combined with my short nipples. Unfortunately, the shields from the hospital wouldn't stay in place as my baby is a squirmy wormy who tries to box with my breasts while feeding. I was taping them down with paper tape and while it worked, it was super inconvenient and slow to be taping down my shields with a crying baby who needed to be fed. I was really hoping this sticker system would be more time efficient and more affordable for a one time purchase with the promise of reusable stickers. Unfortunately the sticker has only worked for 5-6 feeds before it loses its stickiness as it starts to peel up and then milk gets under it, making it leaky and ineffective. When milk gets under the sticker you have to wash it off but it lost stickiness with each rinse and air dry. While it was a lot more convenient to just stick it on and go, it's not cost efficient to buy a new $4 sticker for every other day's use. I think the flower design is cute but I think just a round sticker/shield would provide better stick with more surface area. The shield itself is opaque and not transparent so you can't see any accumulation of milk which I thought was a reassuring feature of the clear plastic ones to make sure baby is getting adequate milk transfer. I've been using the sticker with the clear shield and will keep doing so until they stop sticking. Wish this product was a little more functional. They also don't offer satisfaction guarantees with their product so it kind of stinks that I spent $60 with no backing/refund from the company in the event the product doesn't function.

Not Worth It

The colors and design are super cute, unfortunately these did not work great for me and my baby. They resulted in her feeding less for the days that they were used and caused some gas/constipation issues. The stickers only partially worked even when I followed the cleaning directions. I wish I had not been lured in by the marketing and cute design, as they ended up being a waste of money for me! I recommend sticking to the cheaper Medela ones.

I think i should have sized up on size. The sticky stays better than other nipple shields for sure.
