Nipple shields, also known as breast shields, breastfeeding shield, silicone breast shields, breast shields for nursing. It's made of ultra-thin, super-soft, clear, FDA Food Grade silicone and rests over the mom's nipple when placed against her breast. There are holes at the tip so milk can flow through to baby's mouth. Nipple shields are thin flexible silicone covers which a mother places over her nipple prior to breastfeeding to protect the nipple from baby teeth. A nipple shield is like a hat with a brim and a crown. Some nipple shields have cut-out sections around the brim that allows the baby's nose and chin to be in contact with the mother's skin rather than the nipple shield

Product Details
When are Nipple Shields Used?
Nipple shields can be used when babies have difficulty achieving and/or maintaining attachment to the breast. However, very few benefit from using a nipple shield. A nipple shield can be a temporary solution but not a permanent fix to an underlying problem. They may affect transfer of milk to the baby which may contribute to poor weight gain and health problems for both mother and baby.
How to Use Nipple Shield
- Express a few drops of your breastmilk onto the inside of the nipple shield.
- Express a few drops of your breastmilk into the tip of the nipple shield, where the holes are. This will help encourage your baby to attach.
- Stretch the brim of the nipple shield somewhat outwards.
- Keeping the brim stretched, place the nipple shield centrally over the nipple, onto the breast, to help draw some of the nipple and areola into the crown of the shield as you release the stretch. Position any "cut-outs" where the baby's chin and nose will touch the breast. Flatten the "brim" of the shield over the breast. Hold the nipple shield in place with your fingers on the outside edges.
- (Notes: There should be a small space between the end of your nipple and the end of the crown of the nipple shield. If your nipple touches the end of the crown of the nipple shield, then the nipple shield is too small for you.)
- Point the crown of the nipple shield at your baby's nose and encourage your baby to open his mouth wide. As he attaches, the nipple shield can be directed towards the roof of your baby's mouth.
