In these instances, it can be helpful for the mother to use a nipple shield to aid her in breastfeeding. The nipple shield is designed to sit atop the breast, such that a nipple of the nipple shield is aligned with the nipple of the mother's breast; in this way, the nipple shield helps ensure the baby can properly breastfeed from their mother.
- However, often the nipple shield can be difficult to keep aligned, as it is necessary for the mother to use one hand to hold the nipple shield and the other to help the baby breastfeed. This can make the mother distracted and detract from the bonding process between the baby and the mother. Additionally, it may also lead to the child losing out on potential nutrients if the nipple shield is poorly aligned. Therefore, there exists a need for an adhesive designed to adhere a nipple shield to a breast, while not obstructing the breastfeeding process.
