What is a nipple shield?

A nipple shield is a thin, flexible piece of silicone that is placed over the nipple before breastfeeding to protect it. The tip has holes so that the milk can get to the baby. Medela Contact ™ Nipple Shields feature an open section so you can still enjoy this special skin-to-skin contact.

When to use nipple shields

There are three main circumstances in which nipple shields can be used:

  • if you have sore or cracked nipples or if you suffer from nipple pain;
  • if you have flat or inverted nipples;
  • if the baby has difficulty latching on to the nipple and does not get enough milk.
