Product Description
Product Description
Contact Nipple Shields are very practical when breastfeeding with sore, cracked, flat or inverted nipples. They enable mothers to continue breastfeeding and allow maximum contact between mother and baby due to the specially formed contour. Made from ultra thin, soft silicone which is odourless and tasteless for the baby. For easy transportation they come in a convenient case for hygienic storage.
To check size required, measure the diameter of the nipple base after breastfeeding when the nipple is warm and moist. This is the measurement that should be used as a guide for the contact Nipple Shield. Available in three sizes (small = 16 mm, medium = 20 mm, large = 24 mm). For sore and cracked nipples seek support and advice from your health professional.

I really struggled with breastfeeding when I first started. My baby would not stay latched on and it was excruciatingly painful. After four weeks I plucked up the courage to go to a breastfeeding clinic (highly recommended!) where I was given one of these nipple shields. My baby instantly latched on and fed for a whole feed without coming off. I have now successfully breastfed my baby for six months using them! ANd I'm still going....amazing considering I never thought I'd make it to 6 weeks!
Some people will tell you that you must not use them for a prolonged period, however the lactation consultant said that this a myth. Apparently when they were first invented they were quite stiff and this lead to less efficient feeding. She said this is no longer an issue with the silicone that is used.
I would advise buying more than one set. There's nothing more frustrating than dropping your only sterilized one when your baby is crying for a feed!
The sizing refers to the base of the nipple, not the length!

Before getting to this nipple shield, I tried another two of different brands and the Medela one beats them all. It has a great guide to choose the right size for you. The inset for the baby's mouth works wonders as it improves skin contact and better latching. It holds really well against the breast and does not come off. I was about to give up breast feeding because of cracks on my nipples, and using the shield has helped with healing and allowed me to continue feeding my baby. I am going to buy another set to have as back up. Would definitely recommend it.

These nipple shields are brilliant and really helped me during the difficult first few weeks of breastfeeding. I truly believe I wouldnt have made it through without these. I recommend these to every new Mum I meet!
