Lansinoh LatchAssist Nipple Everter for Breastfeeding

As a first-time mom struggling with flat nipples, this LatchAssist tool was recommended by my lactation consultant and has been absolutely invaluable for establishing successful breastfeeding. The gentle suction creates the perfect nipple shape for my baby to latch properly, transforming what was previously a frustrating and painful experience into something manageable and comfortable. The two flange sizes (19mm and 24mm) are incredibly helpful since nipple sizing can vary. Having both options allowed me to find the perfect fit for optimal suction without discomfort. The 24mm worked best for me, but I appreciated having the smaller size to try first. The flanges are made of soft, medical-grade silicone that feels gentle against sensitive skin. What impressed me most is how quickly it works - just a few minutes of gentle suction before nursing sessions makes all the difference in achieving a proper latch. The suction level is easily controlled, so I can adjust it to what feels comfortable while still being effective. The device is completely silent, which is great for discrete use. The build quality feels professional and durable. All components are easy to clean and sterilize, which is essential for anything used during breastfeeding. The compact size makes it easy to take along when nursing away from home. The included protective case keeps everything hygienic and organized. Having clear instructions and tips from Lansinoh, a trusted breastfeeding brand, gave me confidence in using it properly. Absolutely essential for moms dealing with latch difficulties - this tool can make the difference between breastfeeding success and failure.

My first daughter never learned to breastfeed due to my flat nipples and the fact that she was given a pacifier in the hospital immediately after my c-section. We had a horrible time with nipple confusion and latching issues. I ended up pumping exclusively for 5 months in order to breastfeed her... So when I was pregnant for the second time I knew I had to plan ahead in order to get my second daughter to latch correctly. I found this product on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It was packed in my hospital bag and I tried it out immediately after my c-section (and this time the baby had NO pacifier!) and it helped us tremendously! It can be such a challenge for moms with flat inverted nipples to get their babies to latch. The Latch Assist is a MUST HAVE item for women with flat nipples. With my first daughter I tried everything, including nipple shields and shells, but the Latch Assist is the only tool that has really helped me. I still use it daily, although with less frequency now that my baby is 4 weeks old and latches on fabulously. I also have had very little nipple pain, they are not sore or damaged whatsoever. Many sources tell moms with flat nipples to try a breast pump in order to draw out the nipple before trying to get baby to latch. That didn't work well for me as the pump I have (Medela Pump In Style)made my nipple too large and also wasted milk and started my let down reflex before baby was ready! Other tips say to roll the nipple between your fingers and pull it out - but, um, OUCH! No thank you! The Latch Assist draws out my nipples and seems to shape them to a perfect size for my baby. Just be sure baby is ready to go because your nipple will flatten out again after several seconds. The Latch Assist applies a fairly strong suction, but you can control it yourself. When I first used it I did experience some discomfort, but after the initial engorgement goes away and you & your baby get used to breastfeeding it becomes easier and more comfortable to use. This product, in my opinion, is an absolute necessity for the breastfeeding mother with flat nipples!

I looked and looked and looked for this apparatus because I was struggling a lot with engorgement, flat nipples, and latching. I ripped open the package started using it but then soon realized why no one sells this thing!! Yes it draws out your nipple but duhhhh of course it's going draw out some milk too!! So while you are trying to take this off and quickly latch your little ones mouth on what do you do with the teaspoon of milk in the latch assist?? I kept ending up dumping it on me, the baby, the couch, and finally worked out a system to dump it into a burp cloth. Very inconvenient.

Great tool for mothers with flat/inverted nipples who want to breast feed. Pack this in your hospital bag - it is a must have - especially during the first several days after birth. It also helps pull a few drops of colostrum out that I was able to put on my nipple to help entice baby to latch and suck. It takes a little practice to use, as the nipple doesn't stay out, you have to immediately put your nipple into babies mouth - this is where dad can be helpful until you get the hang of juggling both. I don't think I would still be breastfeeding at 4 months if it weren't for this tool. The nipple shield also helped draw out my nipples, and was helpful when myself or baby was too tired to work at getting a latch using the latch assist. After about 4 weeks I was able to BF without any tools. I would suggest making daily attempts to feed without using these tools - before baby gets extremely hungry - so that you and baby don't create a permanent dependence on them - after several weeks your nipples will naturally begin to draw outward. Breastfeeding was very difficult for me over the first several weeks - there were several times when I ended up in tears due to the frustration of not being able to get baby to latch. But I'm glad I stuck with it and kept trying - it does get easier - don't give up!!

I was given one of these 4.5years ago when I had my middle child. I had trouble getting my first born to latch, baby NEVER latched. I saw lactation consultants and was adviced to pump and breastfeed, I ended up exclusively pumping for 1year because baby and I never learned to latch. At the hospital with my 2nd child the NICU nurse recommended and helped me use this, she gave me a lot of advice and guided me which I am extremely grateful for because I was able to nurse my child for almost 4years. I believe this tool made all the difference, also the guidance I received from the nurse. I just gave birth to my 3rd child last week. My milk was delayed due to blood loss, but I bought this tool and had it in my hospital bag. I am glad i did because when I asked at the hospital for a lactation consult and for this specific tool to see if it would help at all they had no idea what i was talking about. Also I never did see a lactation person, we were discharged and I was told to pump and supplement until my milk came in. We had follow up appointments with pediatricians, and have had 1 lactation consult who said I am having trouble properly latching baby. My nipples are so sore and painful everytime I nurse. Baby is just days old and because we have been supplementing. Baby has gotten used to bottles which I believe may be contributing to this latch issue. I will be going back to using this before EVERY nursing session until we can correct this latch issue. YouTube videos have been very informative and just as if not more helpful than the actual lactation specialist who only recommended us Dr.brown bottles and to try bigger flanges even though that isn't when I get nipple pain. I have the proper fittings for flanges, my problem is getting baby to latch correctly, my supply and bottle/nipple confusion. It just makes you realize how difficult it can be to breastfeed a newborn, I am even more grateful for the helpful NICU nurse after my 2nd baby. I didn't expect difficulty nursing after having done it for over 3years but this newborn phase is ROUGH. It is worth it when baby and mom both learn and feel comfortable and confident, with guidance, lots of patience and practice it does get easier and it's so worth it. This is a great tool for breastfeeding, I will continue to use this until we get this latch issue resolved.

Annoying to clean because milk gets in it, and doesn’t work very well because nipple goes right back down almost immediately. Good idea but doesn’t work.

This thing saved me. I was pumping, then bottle feeding what I pumped. This sucks at 1 am in the morning - because it's 1 am and also because with a newborn, you're gonna be doing it again at 3am, 5am, 7am, etc... We had trouble latching from the start. I don't have an inverted nipple, but I guess the nipple just didn't extend out far enough for her tiny mouth to easily latch onto it. I was willing to try anything so we could breastfeed! After lots of Google searches to try to find tips and tricks, I found this. This thing could successfully pull out my nipple making it much easier for the baby to latch on. A side benefit is that it usually extracted some milk, which I would just pour into the baby's mouth to get her interested, and then brush my nipple against her cheek which would get her to latch on. Like other reviewers said, you do have to make sure the baby is close by - this extends your nipple out but it really doesn't stay that way very long. So, I would use this to pull my nipple out farther, quickly pour the extracted milk into the baby's mouth to get her interested, then try to get her to latch. Sometimes it would take a few tries. I wish the lactation consultant in the hospital had recommended this. I was given nipple shields in the hospital but using them hurt a lot! Would've probably been breastfeeding my baby sooner if I'd known about this sooner. After a week or two of using this, I was able to stop using it. We've been breastfeeding for over 3 months now!

Worked for me and made it possible to bf despite having inverted/ flat nipples. I only wish I had known I had an inverted nipple prior to giving birth and used this product and everted my nipples first before attempting to bf. I only needed to use this product for about 3 days (30 times) and together with pumping with an electric pump, and my nipple is no longer inverted. It's not super comfortable (maybe even a little painful the first few times if your nipples are already sore or bleeding from poor latch) but it's more comfortable than having my baby clamp down on me to try to get a hold of an inverted nipple. When I subsequently visited a lactation consultant and told her I had used this product, she said she didn't know it exists but would recommended to other people. Before, they would use a large syringe to help draw the nipple out but they are no longer allowed to do that for people so maybe people can use this product to do that for themselves.
