Brand Story By Medela

Review: Highly recommend for breastfeeding comfort - The hospital gave me one of these when my baby was born, and it is a lifesaver. I bought a second one in case I lost the first one. I was an insulin-dependent diabetic during pregnancy, and my baby was born with low blood sugar. It was important that my baby latch and nurse to get her blood sugar back up, so the lactation consultant gave me one of these. My baby latched and nursed for 45 minutes within an hour of being born, and we had great success with breastfeeding in the hospital. The lactation consultant assured me that I would not have to use this for the entire 12 months of breastfeeding, but I wouldn't give it up for anything. After returning home, I continued to use this nipple shield, and it made breastfeeding much easier. I avoided the cracked and bleeding nipples, pain and discomfort that my other breastfeeding friends went through. My baby latched correctly every time and fed well, which helped me avoid clogged ducts and mastitis. When my milk came in, I was only engorged for a short time because my baby was able to latch and nurse properly. This nipple shield made breastfeeding a very pleasant experience. When I returned to work at 8 weeks post partum, I had a very easy time transitioning my baby to a bottle because she was already used to the silicon nipple. I became an exclusive pumper at 12 weeks due to my work schedule, but my nipple shields were still in excellent condition and could have been used for many more months. I have only two things that I dislike about this nipple shield. The first is that it collects milk in it while baby eats, so when baby is done, if you forget to lean forward and catch the extra milk in a towel when removing the nipple shield, the milk ends up everywhere. The second is that it takes some coordination to keep the nipple shield in the correct place and get the baby latched properly, especially in the early days when the baby doesn't have any head and neck control. As head and neck control increase, this gets much easier. Overall, I highly recommend this to any breastfeeding mother. This saved me from additional nipple pain when my whole body was hurting after delivery, and that is priceless.
Review: Why Don't Hospitals Dole These Out?! (Updated 4/13) - *** See updated note at bottom of review *** While I was pregnant, a girlfriend of mine gave this to me and said, "Don't ask now, but you'll be thanking me later." Boy was she right. Late one night about a week and a half into the breast feeding realm, I was at my wits end. My nips were, well, in rough shape. No one at the hospital had quite prepared me for just how painful it could get. OMG I felt like a failure! But I remembered that the friend had given this to me and I stumbled to the closet where I had stashed it... and I opened the package...and it has literally saved my breast feeding experience. I still had another painful bout after beginning to use these (perhaps a week into the usage and not nearly as bad as the first meltdown - I would describe this bout as bruising or soreness rather than outright injury), but now three weeks post partum I really feel as though I have turned a corner. I even sent the friend a wine gift basket from my nips as a show of appreciation! The shield is made of very thin, flexible silicone and has a cutout fo allow the baby's nose to still come in contact with the breast. It reminds me of a bottle nipple but way more pliable. Just figure out what angle you need to position the cutout at, apply it over the nip and you're rolling. The edges do flip up after a while but my son doesnt seem to care. Usually just manually flattening them back down works fine. You are supposed to boil them once a day but I do it every two to three and just wash them with antibacterial soap every day. They dry very quickly. I keep a few placed around the house at my breast feeding "stations." The baby does seem to prefer the shield to the real thing, which for some may be detracting. But honey, I am no hero and am simply glad to still be able to further the bond with my baby through breast feeding while enjoying pain free nips! A word about the pain of breast feeding: It flabbergasts me that hospitals aren't doling out nursing aids such as this! Lets all get real here - breast feeding for most women is a painful experience. New stats just came out that said that by six months, less than half of post partum women are still breast feeding. Well if you don't get proper support and aren't warned about the pitfalls, you're definitely going to be set up for failure! Possibly needing to give up on it is the most gult trippy thing I've ever experienced. If lactation consultants could just offer up a few realistic tools for a new mom to put into her arsenal, such as these, way more women would still be breast feeding months later! These shields are that effective! *** Updated 4/13 *** I used these shields until my 2.5 month old son started turning away from them (read: he was shouting at my boobs). So, I've gotten him to latch better and I've started pumping here and there, and we aren't having too many issues. But I realized that the shields may have been causing plugged ducts (one every other day, and I haven't gotten a plugged duct since I stopped using the shields) and they were also dramatically slowing down my feeding time. Before it used to take me over an hour to feed my little guy and now it takes max a half hour. Overall I would recommend these shields to a friend who was having problems and I would not hesitate to buy one if I needed it during a rough time, but I want any other ladies who have babies who spend hours at the breast, or have repeated plugged ducts, to consider that it might be the shields.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful During Breastfeeding Challenges
*by J***R on May 21, 2026*

These helped me so much during the early breastfeeding stage. My baby was having latch issues and this made feeding way less stressful for both of us. The silicone is soft and comfortable and they stayed in place better than I expected. Definitely one of those products I was really glad to have when things were difficult in the beginning.
