Silicone Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding

Silicone Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding, sometimes searched for as a silicone nipple protector, are thin, flexible breastfeeding aids designed to sit over the nipple during a feed. Some mothers use nipple shields temporarily while working through certain breastfeeding or latch difficulties with professional guidance.

Silicone Nipple Protector / Breastfeeding Shield Features

• Soft, thin and flexible silicone
• Contoured shape designed to sit close against the breast
• Openings allow milk to flow through the shield
• Compact size for a changing or nursing bag
• Washable and reusable rather than single-use

Cleaning and Care

Wash before first use and after every feed with warm soapy water, then leave to air dry fully on a clean surface. Replace the shield if you notice splitting, tackiness or other changes in the silicone.

Using a Nipple Shield for Breastfeeding

Nipple shields are not appropriate for every feeding situation, and fit and use can affect milk transfer. Consider speaking with a qualified lactation consultant or other appropriate healthcare professional before starting with a shield and while using one. PAMU8 sells the product but cannot advise on an individual feeding situation.

How do I know what size to use? Fit matters and is best assessed with appropriate professional guidance rather than guessed.

How long should a nipple shield be used? This depends on why it was introduced and the individual feeding situation.

How should it be stored between feeds? Keep it clean, fully dry and in a suitable closed container rather than loose in a bag.
