In the early days after birth, mothers may experience engorgement or swollen breasts, a temporary condition that can make breastfeeding difficult and uncomfortable. A mother can also find that her skin has stretched so much that her nipples, which would normally be protruding, may be flat. Flat nipples may make it difficult for your baby to breastfeed easily. In these circumstances it is important for you to be able to gently draw out your nipple so that your baby can properly grasp the nipple and areola in order to establish a good latch. For women who experience flat nipples, Lansinoh has developed the Latch Assist, a simple tool to temporarily draw out the nipple to enable a good latch, the first step to successful breastfeeding.

Many users have found the LatchAssist® to be highly effective. For instance, a user shared:
"This is an amazing piece of kit for all mums struggling at the start of their breastfeeding journey. I used to use this to draw the nipple out to make attaching nipple shields easier, then after a few weeks I used to use it to make sure she could latch to me easier. In less than 5 weeks we went from not able to breastfeed at all to latching and feeding. This tool was a little life saver."
