Contact Nipple Shields: An essential part of successful breastfeeding

Medela Contact Nipple Shields were made to address common breastfeeding issues, including flat or inverted nipples and those experiencing latching difficulties, soreness, and overactive letdown | Available in 3 sizes that are designed to fit the size of the infant’s mouth.

Tips for Use

Remove the nipple shield after a minute or two of breastfeeding. Try to attach the baby to the breast without the nipple shield. Continue to do this with each feeding until the baby is able to latch without the shield.

Place the nipple shield in hot water prior to nursing to make the shield more pliable and easier to adhere to the breast. A small amount of lanolin cream under just the rim may also help it stick.

Turn the nipple shield inside-out halfway, holding it by the rim. Place the nipple shield over the breast with the nipple centered inside the nipple portion of the shield. Then flip the shield right side out, enclosing as much of the nipple as possible. If using the Contact nipple shield, position the open section where the baby’s nose will contact the breast.
