I am a breastfeeding consultant, and I am wondering if this device can be used to evert inverted nipples, and if so, how permanent is the eversion?

Hi... former breastfeeder here... wouldn't the suction devices just need to evert the nipples just long enough for baby to get a good latch? I would think the repeated suction over the course of time nursing of the baby would do far more than any gadget toward any kind of permanent eversion of inverted nipples. I started out with normal nubs before nursing my children and it took years for my nipples to go from half inch long down to large nubs.

Nope. That's why we switched. They're intended for single use. If you sterilize them, they will warp out of shape, and maybe even leach? Go with silicone nipples instead. They can be boiled, nuked and reused over and over. We wound up buying a salvo of Even Flow glass bottles with silicone nipples. They work like a champ.

hi , looking over the reviews it sounds like they come with a average nipple not for newborns so maybe get some nipples for newbornsand save the ones they come with for the future . i bought this product as a baby gift for my niece's baby . her baby shower was huge but the baby bottles she used were the ones i bought her . those old fashion glass ones along with another gift of all 3 stages of nipples.

I am just estimating , but I would say the base(bottom of the cup) is approx 1/2. The rim of the cup is apporx 3/4". It is also a littlel over 3/4" in length. I was shocked when I opened my package and saw the size of the cups...I was sure I would end up with a ginormous nipple, but i am not. It actually is looking the my other nipple, I must say depending how inverted the nipple is...it does hurt immensely when you suction.....

The tubing does not hold up well for long term use. It starts to wear in the places that you have to tape it to your breast. I was able to use it for several weeks though. I just sterilized and air dried after each use. The regular pump bottles are not compatible with this setup. This is strictly for supplemental nursing only. You have to put either pumped breast milk or formula into this special bottle.

Sorry. I can't help you. The nipples I purchased were quickly abandoned by both the chicks and me because they didn't work as advertised.

This product is designed just to pull the nipple up into the cylinder. If you would like to see a demonstration of the product in action, we have a 30 second manufacturer's video located here http://seductivetoychest.com/MAXtwist-Video.html

My daughter didnt use it while breast feeding, but I don't think the shape would be conducive for that purpose. It's fine for bottle feeding, as you don't have to hold them as close to the body.

I looked at the pics for the pump and it looks very similar to my medela advanced. I would look for a number for kiinde and ask for sure. If it does it's worth it. I'm on baby #4 and this is the easiest pumping system. My baby had a hard time with bottle nipples and he hasn't struggled or been confused once!!! Highly highly recommend it. I hope it does work for you.

You can def. use it for formula but they get tired faster because they have to work at sucking, I recommend the regular medium flow nipples for formula.

Yes that is the largest size one thing it's very important is to make sure you get the center of the shield on the center of your nipple. Otherwise it does cause some irritation. For about the first week my nipples were a little sensitive to feeding but we are now six months into breast-feeding yes I still use the shield and I've never problems at all also make sure you flip the nipple out see you get a good suction it pulls more the Ariola into the tip

Our baby did not have an issue with latching, the problem was with the Chicco bottles. He got lazy from those bottles because he did not have to suck hard to get the formula/breast milk, so he did not want to nurse. Once we switched the the Medela nipple, that issue went away. They have to build up a vacuum in order to get the milk to flow through the nipple, mimicking the nursing process. They are expensive, but well worth it.

You can change the nipples to different levels, such as level 2 and 3. I recently changed my son to level 2 when he turned 3 months.

the pump was great while i was using it...i have now stopped breastfeeding unfortunately but the memory function does come in quite handy...only thing is be careful of the connecting powerpoint plug...the one that comes with the pump is uk or us fit i think and because i live in australia i had to attach a different power outlet cord which i happened to have one spare!

No, I used this for 2 weeks at every feeding and it could have still been used. I also had the bigger one and the smaller one is so much easier to use. I adapted it by getting some 1/4 inch elastic and trying a piece into a necklace. That was much easier to use than the lame clip that it comes with. Good luck with nursing!

I am currently breast feeding and the strap stays put. I forget its even there. It has rubber stuff on the inside like a strapless bra. I think it will work for u.

It depends on your level of comfort. I had inverted nipples, so I needed it from day one. If your hospital has a lactation specialist, ask them. It doesn't hurt to pack it, though, in case you end up needing it. If you don't know of any issues, I would definitely try without first, because baby's saliva tells your body what baby needs. Hopefully this helps and is not confusing. Congrats and good luck!
