Breastfeeding is a special moment of connection between you and your baby, but when latching is difficult or accompanied by sensitive, dry nipples or cracked nipples, this can cause the necessary unrest and physical strain. This sensitivity can disrupt your daily routine and overshadow the beautiful experience of feeding. The Medela Contact Nipple Shields Size M offer mild and responsible support in this regard. By forming a reliable protective layer, they help to spare sensitive skin, so that you can continue to breastfeed with more peace and comfort.
Key benefits
- Targeted protection: Supports and protects sensitive, dry nipples and cracked nipples during breastfeeding to give the skin a rest.
- Optimal skin contact: The specially shaped design maximises physical contact between you and your baby during feeding.
- Soft and comfortable: Made of a transparent, ultra-thin and supple silicone material that feels soft on sensitive skin.
- Safe and neutral: Completely BPA-free and tasteless for your baby, which contributes to a natural drinking experience.
- Practical to use: Helps your baby latch on more easily with flat or inverted nipples and is also suitable for premature babies.
How it works
Medela Contact Nipple Shields are carefully designed to provide a temporary, physical barrier that relieves the nipple during feeding. Due to the specific design, direct contact and the mother's scent are maintained, which is essential for bonding and milk flow. The ultra-thin silicone naturally conforms to the breast, making it easier for the baby to latch on without disrupting the natural drinking technique. This makes it a valuable tool within your daily care routine.
