Nipple Shield Silicone Protector Breastfeeding Nipple Protect Cover 1 Pair

Description

The nipple shield is a lactation product that is used in special situations. It is a very thin and soft piece of silicone that covers the areola and the nipple. Several small openings at the tip of the liner allow milk to flow from the breast, through the liner, and to the baby.
Situations where the liner can be helpful:
Difficulty latching onto the chest
Premature babies
Babies with frenulum
Flat, retracted, or inverted nipples
Sore nipples
Relactation
Nipple shields are generally used as a last resort. Wearing the nipple shield is recommended under the supervision of a lactation consultant; since if not used correctly, it could adversely affect breastfeeding. While wearing a nipple shield you should make sure your baby is getting enough milk by keeping track of wet diapers, as well as keeping track of baby's weight gain.
