Product information
Medela Contact™ nipple shields allow you to breastfeed when latching is difficult or painful, protecting sore nipples and making it easier for your baby to latch on.
A nipple shield is a thin, flexible piece of silicone that is placed over the nipple before feeding to protect it. The tip is perforated so that the baby can suck milk. Some mums are concerned that the ‘barrier’ between them and their baby will affect the intimate feeding experience, which is why the Medela Contact™ Nipple Caps have a cutout to allow skin contact.
- Supports breastfeeding if your nipples are sore or difficult for your baby to latch on, or if you have flat or inverted nipples
- They protect sensitive, dry or cracked nipples during breastfeeding
- Transparent, extremely thin and soft silicone provides comfort to mom’s sensitive skin
- Safe and tasteless for the baby
- The shape ensures close contact between mother and child
- BPA free
When to use nipple shields for feeding
Nipple shields (i.e. so-called caps) are useful in three basic situations:
- For sore, cracked nipples or sore nipples.
- When the nipples are flat or inverted.
- If your baby has difficulty latching on to the breast and drinking milk.
How to use nipple shields for feeding
After washing your hands with drinking water and drying them thoroughly, grasp the wings of the Contact ™ attachment and replace it. Moistening the overlay with drinking water will help it stick to the skin. For detailed instructions on how to attach the Contact ™ nipple shields, see the Instructions for Use. The nursing nipple covers should be comfortable and not constrict – Medela comes in three sizes to fit your nipple type. Remember to wash them after each use and disinfect them once a day – the easiest way to do this is using microwave sanitizing bags. Contact ™ Caps come with a convenient storage and carry case.
Covers for sore nipples
Sore or cracked nipples can have a variety of causes, so it’s important to determine the root cause before deciding what to do next. If you have sore nipples, you may want to try hydrogel pads or nipple shields first and seek help from a lactation consultant. If that doesn’t help, Contact™ Nipple Shields will help protect your nipples while allowing you to breastfeed – they’re made of ultra-thin and soft silicone and gentle on even sore, dry or cracked skin.
Shields for flat or inverted nipples
If you have flat or inverted nipples, your baby may have trouble latching on, especially when they are small – but that doesn’t mean you can’t breastfeed! Inverted or flat nipples often do not reach the palate of the baby, so that the sucking reflex is not always followed. Contact™ nipple shields will help solve this problem. Since they are tasteless, the baby should not feel the difference when using them.
