Nipple Shields

Nipple shields are for breastfeeding mothers, who need help due to the follow causes:

• The nipples are cracked and the mother needs a protective barrier to relieve some of the pain while breastfeeding and to prevent further damage to the breast.

• The nipples are flat or inverted causing the baby to have difficulty latching on to the breasts.

How to use:

• Wash your hands thoroughly.

• If the breast is engorged it is better to express a little milk by hand or by using a breast pump to make the breast a little softer.

• Adding a little moisture will make the nipple shield stick better to the breast.

• The side of the nipple shield with the cut-out should face upwards. The cut-out is make to better enable the baby to feel and smell the mother breast.

• Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably and start breastfeeding.
