  "question": "Can a silicone nipple shield affect breast milk supply?",
  "answer": "Haakaa Silicone Breastfeeding Nipple Shield with Orthodontic Nipple: Nipple shields can affect milk supply either way; if a baby latches better with one supply may hold up, but incorrect or frequent use can restrict milk flow and reduce supply. Comfort depends on how much air is squeezed out of the chamber before placement, and pain during wear suggests the suction is too strong; the right level can change over time.\n\nHaakaa Silicone Breastfeeding Nipple Shield, Round Shape 1 pk: A shield can affect milk supply in either direction, so anyone worried about supply is advised to check sizing and fit and to speak to a lactation consultant or healthcare provider. Comfort comes down to how much air is squeezed out of the chamber before attaching; pain during wear usually means the suction is too strong, so the squeeze should be adjusted until it feels right.",
