Mothers may use nipple shells for several reasons:
Sore or Cracked Nipples: Nipple shells can provide a protective barrier, allowing the nipples to heal while preventing further irritation from clothing. Flat or Inverted Nipples: For mothers with flat or inverted nipples, shell use before and during breastfeeding can help draw out the nipple, making it easier for the infant to latch. Engorgement Relief: The gentle pressure from the shells can help relieve breast engorgement by encouraging milk flow.
