Medela Nipple Shields

 
 

Medela Nipple Shields

For temporary use when breastfeeding with sore, cracked or flat nipples. They can also help with latch-on difficulties.  Once you have breastfeeding established and it is pain-free, then you can stop using the nipple shields.

  • Special contour and open section which allows maximum skin contact between mother and baby.
  • Made from ultra thing, soft, non toxic silicone. This is odourless and tasteless.
  • Each pair of nipple shields comes with a convenient box for hygienic storage.

These are available in three sizes, though the vast majority of mothers will be the size medium (20mm)

  • Small = 16mm
  • Medium = 20mm
  • Large = 24mm

 

Manufacturer:  Medela

Couldn't have done it without them

I have some of these shields in all 3 sizes and have used them for every feed (my son is 5.5 mths old) due to difficulty latching / flat nipples. They take a little while to get used to and you feel like you need 3 hands - but it gets much easier. I couldn't have breastfed without them. The large one seems too big for a small babies mouth to me, so i'd also suggest medium if you're unsure.

An amazing product!

Not necessarily for temporary use & I couldn't have breastfed otherwise due to small, flat nipples. I was given 1 from the maternity nurse in the hospital & have used it for over 5 months now with no visible signs of wear or tear =)

Reccommend to all...

I was given one of these to try while in Maternity as I have flat nipples and was having lots of trouble with latching. Absolutely awesome. I bought 2 more myself. My baby is just over 4 months and I still use them for every feed. It was suggested to me that I use lanolin to 'stick' it onto the breast, but I found this a little messy and really unnessecary - lots easier to just hold it in place with two fingers and bring your baby to it. Took my baby a couple of times to get used to it and then he was away :)
