Providing comfort and support during the sensitive early days of breastfeeding, these nipple shields are designed to ease the experience for both mother and baby. Crafted from ultra-thin, soft silicone, the shields are shaped to allow your baby’s nose and chin to remain in contact with your skin, encouraging bonding while protecting sore, cracked nipples. Three small holes at the tip regulate milk flow, allowing your little one to feed at their own pace without overwhelming them.
The shields also assist babies who find latching on difficult, helping prolong breastfeeding with greater ease. Included is a hygienic travel case that makes them convenient and discreet to carry wherever you go. Combining breast and bottle feeding is made easier since the silicone mimics Philips bottle teats, helping your baby transition smoothly.
