Latching in Real Life: Getting a Deep Latch With a Nipple Shield

Mother preparing to latch with a nipple shield

If you’ve been trying to get a deep latch with a nipple shield — but it feels impossible — you’re not imagining it. Shields can make it harder to get a good latch.

But harder doesn’t mean impossible.

In this 5-minute unscripted coaching session, you’ll see a new parent working with her baby’s natural reflexes — and a nipple shield — to find a deeper, better latch. No force, no frantic juggling, and no feeling like she needs three extra hands.

What's inside this What it Really Looks Like session:

  • ➤ How to position your baby so their chin lands just under the shield
  • ➤ How to avoid pushing the shield in (and what to do instead)

  • ➤ What to try when your baby slides shallow after a good start
  • ➤ How to guide your baby forward using reflexes — not force
