How do we stop the nipple shield falling off?

I’m also annoyingly using shields for other reasons. And the minutes it gets milk under it it slides around so much. So so frustrating. Someone showed me if you fold it back a little as you put it in then it makes abit of suction. That used to help loads but doesn’t work as well anymore. I tend to hold it in place until she’s drinking nicely. If she’s fussing and going on/off it’s a nightmare

I used the Mam shields and folded them back to put them on which created a vacuum around the nipple. He would sometimes hit it off but 9/10 it would stay on. I also found that using nipple cream made the shields more slippery which caused them to fall off more frequently so if you are using the cream just pop it on the nipple and avoid the areola as much as possible. Hope this helps ❤️

Thank you girls, I’ll try these things today 🤍 they are such a nightmare!

Have you tried putting a little breast milk on the sides, let it dry a bit,and then putting it on? That helped me when I used shields. I also always felt with my finger underneath whether it wasn't wrinkled, which could cause leaks.
