Overview

Medela Contact Nipple Shields offer a durable, comfortable and convenient way to make breastfeeding easier.

They can also be used to help mums with flat, inverted or sore nipples or an overactive let-down to breastfeed. The Contact Nipple Shields are specially designed and constructed to provide closer contact for your baby.

Benefits of Contact Nipple Shields 

Medela Contact Nipple Shields protect your nipples during feeding and help your baby to latch on.

The special shape offers high skin contact.

The 100 per cent BPA-free shields are available in three sizes and come in a practical storage box.

• Available in three sizes: 16mm, 20mm and 24mm
• Unique cut-out shape allows a high skin contact between you and your baby
• Enables breastfeeding despite latch-on difficulties or sore, flat or inverted nipples

Directions for Use

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with drinking-quality water and soap before touching the shield and the breast. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.

2. Clean the breast and surrounding area with a damp cloth. Do not use soap or alcohol which can dry the skin and cause cracked nipples.

3. Moisten the shield with water as this will help it to stick to the skin.

4.Push the tip almost inside out and grip the wings of the shield.

5.Place the shield centrally over the nipple. The open section should point in the direction of the baby’s nose during feeding.

Choosing the correct nipple shield size.
When choosing the correct nipple shield size you need to consider both mother and baby.
For the mother:
The shield should fit comfortably without pinching.
In the case of a premature infant:
When grasping the shield, the infant’s lips must be able to reach the flat base of the shield against the breast.

Storage

Put the clean nipple shield in the clean storage box, if available. Alternatively, put the shield in a clean storage bag or a clean environment. It is important that all residual moisture dries.
Do not store in an airtight container/bag.
