The breastfeeding period is an intimate and valuable time for you and your child, but sore nipples, cracked nipples, or latching problems can make this experience difficult. When latching is painful or does not go well, it can cause uncertainty and physical discomfort in your daily routine. The Medela Contact Nipple Shields Size S offer gentle and reliable support. They protect sensitive skin and help your baby to latch on more easily, so that you can continue breastfeeding in a comfortable way.

Key benefits

• Skin-friendly protection: Offers effective protection for sensitive, dry nipples and cracked nipples during feeding.
• Maximum contact: The special design ensures that skin contact between you and your baby is optimally maintained.
• Ultra-thin material: Made of transparent, soft and wafer-thin silicone material that fits comfortably on the skin.
• Safe and neutral: Completely BPA-free and tasteless, so that your baby's natural drinking experience is not affected.
• Targeted fit: Ideal for latching problems, flat or inverted nipples, and extremely suitable for premature babies.

How it works

The Medela Contact Nipple Shields have been developed to relieve the nipple without disrupting the natural feeding process. Due to the wafer-thin silicone, the shield fits closely to the breast. The cutout at the top ensures that your baby continues to smell your familiar scent and feel your skin, which supports milk let-down and bonding. It helps the baby to find a stable grip, especially when the nipples are flat or inverted.

Use & Dosage
