The Medela Contact Nipple Shield is a specialized breastfeeding aid designed to assist mothers and infants in overcoming common nursing challenges. This 16 millimeter, small-sized shield provides a temporary solution for mothers dealing with flat or inverted nipples, or for infants struggling with latch-on difficulties. Crafted from ultra-thin, BPA-free silicone, the shield acts as an artificial protrusion that allows the baby to achieve a secure latch while protecting sensitive or sore nipples during the healing process. The unique, ergonomic cut-out design is a standout feature, intentionally engineered to maximize skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, ensuring that the essential bond and scent recognition are maintained during feeding sessions. These shields are flavor-free and flexible, offering comfort for both parent and child. By bridging the gap during the initial breastfeeding phase, this tool facilitates a smoother transition to direct latching. Please note that this product is intended for use as a temporary support mechanism. It is highly recommended to consult with a lactation professional or healthcare provider to ensure proper sizing and to develop a personalized, sustainable feeding plan that supports your breastfeeding journey.

FAQ

Lactation consultants may recommend shields as a temporary tool to bridge the gap during specific challenges like latching difficulties or flat nipples. They help the baby maintain a latch while the mother works on healing or adjustment, typically with a plan to transition back to direct nursing.

While it is possible to breastfeed with inverted nipples without a shield, many mothers find the process difficult in the beginning. A shield can provide the necessary protrusion to help the baby latch effectively until your anatomy becomes more comfortable with the process.

The 16mm size is generally considered small. We recommend measuring the base of your nipple or consulting with a lactation professional to ensure you have the proper fit, as sizing directly impacts the effectiveness and comfort of the shield.
