The Lansinoh LatchAssist Nipple Everter is the simple solution to pull out the nipple when the breasts are engorged. Flat or inverted nipples can happen due to the mom's anatomy or as the nipple flattens due to swelling or engorgement which makes it difficult for the baby to latch-on. Drawing out the nipple by squeezing the Lansinoh Breastfeeding Latch Assist bulb creates comfortable suction around the flange to draw out the nipple. There are two flange sizes for moms to choose from so that it's properly fitted to create the suction needed to lift the nipple.
Since you are interested in this Lansinoh Latch Nipple Everter (Lansinoh 70170), you may want to purchase the Breastfeeding Starter Set that includes the nipple everter and other popular breastfeeding products by Lansinoh to help mom be successful from beginning to end.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is the Latch Assist Dishwasher Safe?
Yes, it's dishwasher safe when placed on the top rack.
How do I Sanitize the Everter?
It is recommended to sanitize before using the device for the first time. Disassemble the parts and place them into boiling water for five minutes. Make sure there is plenty of water in the post so that the parts don't touch the bottom or sides of the pot to avoid melting.
Why Are There Two Sizes of Flanges?
Having two sizes will accommodate most mom's nipple size. If the nipple doesn't fit in the tunnel or it creates rubbing, the larger 24mm size should be used.
