Lansinoh Latch Assist is available in Breast Pumps
In the early days after birth, mothers may experience engorgement or swollen breasts, a temporary condition that can make breastfeeding difficult and uncomfortable. A mother can also find that her skin has stretched so much that her nipples, which would normally be protruding, may be flat. Flat nipples may make it difficult for your baby to breastfeed easily. If your baby is unable to get a flat nipple positioned correctly in his mouth he may not receive as much breastmilk, despite his best efforts. In these circumstances it is important for you to be able to gently draw out your nipple so that your baby can properly grasp the nipple and areola in order to establish a good latch. For women who experience flat nipples, Lansinoh has developed the LatchAssistTM, a simple tool to temporarily draw out the nipple to enable a good latch - the first step to successful breastfeeding.

I've now been exclusively breastfeeding for 10 weeks and have joined a local group where I found that a...
