Tips and tricks for weaning off shields with this kit:
1. Introduce the new nipple shield when baby is sleepy. Doing this allowed her to latch baby a few times and be able to know that she was able to latch and get milk from this new shield. So when baby would refuse it, she knew it was just preference. This knowledge pushed her to persevere and continue trying and being patient rather than just giving up on using the Back to Mom shields.
2. If baby is hungry, start with the shield they are comfortable with and let them feed for a few minutes and allow let down to happen and then switch out the shields to the new one you are introducing.
3. Try some different ways to find what's best for your baby. Is it when your breast is full or maybe when your breast is more empty. Keep in mind it might be different between each step
