Lansinoh Latch Assist Nipple Everter aids breastfeeding by gently everting a flat or inverted nipple. Simple, effective and easy to use with one hand. In the first few days of lactation, the mother's nipples may be temporarily flat or inverted due to engorgement or inflammation. This temporary condition makes breastfeeding uncomfortable as it makes it difficult for the baby to latch on. The skin is stretched, so that where your nipples once protruded, they now appear flat. If the baby cannot latch on to a flat nipple in the correct position for nursing, it will not be easy for him to get enough milk. The Nipple Everter is the ideal solution to a problem that can be worrisome for new moms. With Lansinoh's Latch Assist Nipple Everter, mothers can gently evert their nipple long enough for the baby to latch onto the nipple and areola correctly, critical to successful breastfeeding. Simple, effective and easy to use with one hand. It is recommended that when your baby is in the nursing position, you gently squeeze the bulb and place the cone over and around the nipple. Lightly press the skin so that it adheres well. Gently release the bulb until the desired pressure is achieved. Repeat the operation gently until the nipple comes out and the baby can easily latch on. After using the evertor, wash and rinse the pear and let it air dry. Discard any milk that may have collected in the cone.
