A nipple shield is a thin nipple-shaped cover worn over the nipple and areola to ease breastfeeding and help with latching and suckling. It’s usually silicon and has openings on the nipple to allow the breast milk to pass through. Use nipple shields under guidance from a lactation consultant to be sure you actually need one, and you’re using it correctly. #edieamyco #nippleshield #breastfeeding

One of the most common sources of discomfort for children is toothache caused by cavities, teething, or injury. To support your child, do the following: 1. Stay calm and reassuring 2. Identify the source of the pain 3. Administer a home remedy. Do a salt water rinse, and apply a cold compress around the swelling area. You can also give an over-the-counter pain relief medication to children above two years. Encourage your child to avoid hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods during this period. Help them brush gently and schedule a dental appointment if the situation worsens. Click https://bit.ly/3OetYyt for more on overcoming toothache. #edieamyco #toothache #milkteeth
