  "question": "Can a nipple shield protect the nipples from biting by a baby?",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not say whether a nipple shield protects against biting. For the closest related use, sore or cracked nipples: Haakaa Silicone Breastfeeding Nipple Shield, Round Shape 1 pk: The shield is meant for mothers who physically cannot feed because of sore or cracked nipples and is a temporary measure until the nipple heals. Haakaa MHK037: This shield is designed for mothers who physically cannot breastfeed due to sore or cracked nipples and should only be used in the interim before returning to natural breastfeeding once the nipple has healed.",
