    Silicone nipple shields effectively aided infant breastfeeding attachment in nine cases, resolving issues like poor suck or nipple protractility. All infants achieved direct breastfeeding and healthy weights by four months.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Lactation support
    • Pediatric nutrition

    Background:

    • Breastfeeding challenges, including infant attachment difficulties and maternal nipple pain, are common.
    • Silicone nipple shields are sometimes used as an intervention for these issues.

    Observation:

    • This report details ten cases of silicone nipple shield use for at least two weeks.
    • Nine cases involved improving infant attachment due to suck problems or inadequate nipple protractility.
    • One case utilized the shield for severe nipple soreness.

    Findings:

    • All ten infants were weaned off nipple shields by 3.5 months of age.
    • Nine infants successfully transitioned to direct breastfeeding.
    • Infant weight gain was appropriate or above average at three weeks, two months, and four months.

    Implications:

    • Silicone nipple shields can be a beneficial tool for overcoming specific breastfeeding difficulties.
    • Successful use of nipple shields may lead to sustained breastfeeding and positive infant growth outcomes.
    • Further research into the long-term efficacy and optimal use of nipple shields is warranted.
