FAQ
Q1. Why do lactation consultants often recommend nipple shields?
Ans: 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.
Q2. Can I breastfeed with inverted nipples without a shield?
Ans: 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.
Q3. How do I know if the 16mm size is correct for me?
Ans: 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.
Q4. Is this Medela Nipple Shield an authentic product?
Ans: Yes, all products sold at Rudra Retails are 100% authentic USA-imported items. We source our inventory directly from verified USA retailers to ensure you receive genuine healthcare products.
Q5. Is the Medela Contact Nipple Shield dishwasher safe?
Ans: It is recommended to clean your shield by washing it with mild soap and water after each use. Always follow the specific sterilization guidelines provided in the Medela product manual to maintain hygiene.
