Transitioning to the Breast at Six Weeks: Use of a Nipple Shield

After forceful help with breastfeeding on the first day after birth, a baby began to refuse to latch onto the breast. The mother received help maintaining her milk supply and advice on feeding methods and use of a nipple shield from a lactation consultant after leaving the hospital and was eventually able to breastfeed with the help of a nipple shield. Important aspects of this case were the treatment in the hospital, which included forcing the baby to the breast and using a tube-feeding device with artificial baby milk. Also critical was this mother's commitment to breastfeeding and the longterm support she received.

Key Words: breastfeeding • breast refusal • nipple shield
