It is typically used to address breastfeeding difficulties, such as:

• Sore or cracked nipples: Nipple protectors can help to protect the nipple from further irritation and allow it to heal.
• Flat or inverted nipples: Nipple protectors can help babies to latch on more easily.
• Oversupply of milk: Nipple protectors can help to slow down the flow of milk, which can be overwhelming for some babies.
• Tongue-tie: Nipple protectors can create a larger surface area for the baby to latch onto, which can be helpful for babies with tongue-tie.
