In the early days after birth, mums may experience engorgement or swollen breasts, a temporary condition that can make breastfeeding uncomfortable. Some mums may also find that the skin has stretched so much that the nipples may be flat, making it difficult for a baby to position the nipple correctly in his mouth. That's where the Lansinoh Latch Assist™ can help. This simple tool gently draws out the nipple to enable a good latch - the first step to successful breastfeeding. Caution: this product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. Temporary flat or inverted nipple correction makes breastfeeding easier with our Latch Assist Nipple Everter. Includes two sized cones for a more comfortable fit. Discreet, self-controlled and quick to use with just one hand. Gently draws out the nipple for baby to latch on to.

It's a quick and discreet tool that can significantly improve the breastfeeding experience. However, it's important to note that this product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
