What are the difference in Nipple Shields?Updated 2 years ago

Our Silicone Nipple Shields are a standard design with a thin silicone protective layer, which still allows for close skin-to-skin contact for mum and baby but gives a little bit of protection for mum.

Our Breastfeeding Nipple Shields are slightly different. They are a patented design that are made of slightly thicker silicone for a more protective layer for cracked and/or bleeding nipples. They also include a bottle-shaped teat or orthodontic teat at the end. This allows for a helpful transition from breast to bottle and bottle to breast. The variable flow nipple allows your baby to drink continuously without gasping for air or drinking bubbles and prevents them from choking if milk flows too fast.

The shield works based on suction, similar to our pump. With a simple squeeze of the teat when attaching, it suctions onto the breast and is helpful with flat or inverted nipples.
