It is NOT One Size Fits All

My nipples fit into a 30mm nipple shield when it comes to a breast pump and I could not manage to get the Medela nipple shield size 24mm to fit though the lactation consultant was able to get it on, barely. So I bought this nipple shield as my last attempt at a shield to help with my attempts to get back to exclusively breastfeeding my four-week-old. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no way for this thing to work. With Medela, you flip it back and put it on to create a suction. This does NOT do that. The silicone it is made out of is very thick, very thick and dense though you can pull back the butterfly wings there is absolutely no way for it to stay on as there is no suction. My nipples could not fit even when I was able to stretch out the opening by pulling the wings. I'm assuming if you're nipples are small enough you can just put them inside and hold it on using your fingers but if you have large nipples this is impossible. So this was an absolute waste of time and hope but nice concept if you have small nipples.
