Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding Two-Pack - medium
Product Highlights
Every breastfeeding journey is different, and sometimes a little extra support can make a difference.
Made from natural rubber latex derived from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, a renewable, plant-derived raw material, these soft, flexible nipple shields combine carefully selected materials with HEVEA's signature Danish design.
Their rounded shape, flexible construction and three integrated openings offer a practical design for breastfeeding.
When might a nipple shield be helpful?
Nipple shields are sometimes used as temporary breastfeeding aids, particularly when mothers and babies experience challenges with feeding.
A healthcare professional or lactation consultant may recommend a nipple shield in situations such as:
-
Latching difficulties: When a baby has difficulty attaching to the breast.
-
Flat or inverted nipples: When additional support may be helpful during breastfeeding.
-
Sensitive nipples: When breastfeeding is uncomfortable and professional guidance is needed.
-
Other feeding challenges: When a lactation consultant recommends a nipple shield as part of an individual feeding plan.
Nipple shields are not necessary for every breastfeeding journey, and their suitability depends on the needs of both mother and baby.
Naturally soft and flexible
The HEVEA Nipple Shields are made from natural rubber latex, offering a soft, elastic texture that can flex against the breast during use.
The material has a distinctive tactile feel and is designed for direct contact with the breast during feeding.
Thoughtful design for breastfeeding
Round shape for flexible positioning
The rounded design allows the nipple shield to be positioned in different orientations according to individual preference and the supplied instructions.
Three integrated flow openings
Each shield features three small openings designed to allow breast milk to pass through during feeding.
Soft natural rubber construction
The flexible material allows the shield to adapt to the breast's shape during use.
Care and use
Always clean and sterilise the nipple shields before first use and thereafter according to the supplied product instructions.
Check the shields carefully before each use and discontinue use immediately if they show signs of damage, tearing, stickiness or deterioration.
Ensure the nipple shield is correctly positioned before feeding.
We recommend seeking guidance from a midwife, healthcare professional or qualified lactation consultant when introducing nipple shields, particularly if you are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties.
Monitor your baby's feeding and milk intake, as nipple shields may affect milk transfer in some circumstances.
