Frequently asked questions
Does this help with inverted nipples?
Yes. The LatchAssist is specifically designed to gently and effectively draw out flat or inverted nipples. By creating gentle, vacuum-like suction, it helps the nipple reach the ideal shape to assist your baby in achieving a proper latch.
Is it safe for my baby?
Absolutely. The device is constructed from materials that are not made with BPA or BPS. Additionally, because it is a noninvasive tool, it allows the baby to maintain direct skin-to-nipple contact during breastfeeding, supporting a natural feeding experience.
Are multiple sizes included for the best fit?
Yes, to ensure comfort and effectiveness, the kit includes two different flange sizes: 19-millimeter and 24-millimeter. This allows you to choose the size that best fits your needs.
When should I use this device?
It is intended to be used immediately before nursing sessions to gently prep the nipple. It is designed to be a quick, simple step that helps your baby latch more easily.
Does the baby have direct contact with the breast?
Yes, that is a primary feature of the design. Because the tool is noninvasive, it draws out the nipple so the baby can maintain direct skin-to-nipple contact, supporting a more natural breastfeeding transition.
Is this tool easy to clean?

Is it portable enough for travel?

Can I use this if I am just starting to breastfeed?
Yes, it is ideal for postpartum mothers who are seeking extra support with breastfeeding. It is a gentle, specialized aid to help overcome initial challenges with latching.
How does the suction mechanism work?
The device uses a soft, bulb-shaped silicone component. When pressed, it creates a gentle, vacuum-like suction that pulls the nipple out, creating the proper shape for the infant to latch on effectively.
Is this a single-use product?
No, this is a durable, reusable aid. It is designed to be cleaned easily between uses so that you can continue using it throughout your breastfeeding journey.
