The Haakaa Nipple Shield is a world-first design made from 100% soft, food-grade silicone. Its patented one-piece construction features an extended teat that creates space between your nipple and your baby's mouth, so you can continue breastfeeding with ease even if you have inverted or cracked nipples, or your little one bites or pulls away. The orthodontic-shaped nipple mimics a natural sucking rhythm, while the variable flow prevents choking. Once your nipples heal, you can return to normal breastfeeding. The round base helps keep the shield in place, and a protective case keeps it hygienic when you're out and about.
Haakaa Nipple Shield: Gentle Protection for Pain-Free Nursing
If breastfeeding has become uncomfortable due to sore, cracked, or inverted nipples, this silicone shield offers a simple solution. The extra-soft material flexes with your movements, and the extended teat gives your nipple room to heal while your baby feeds comfortably. The one-piece design has no joints or edges that could harbor bacteria or irritate sensitive skin.
How to Use the Haakaa Breastfeeding Shield
Express a few drops of milk into the shield to encourage your baby to accept the teat. Squeeze the chamber, fold back the base, and center it over your nipple. As your baby feeds, milk flows continuously into the extended teat. The round base helps keep the shield in place, so you can relax during feedings.
When to Use the Haakaa Nipple Shield
Use it whenever you need extra protection: when nipples are cracked, when your baby has trouble latching, if you have inverted nipples, or when biting becomes an issue. It's also handy for letting down milk if you're engorged. As your nipples heal, you can gradually transition back to direct breastfeeding.
Cleaning and Care
Before first use and after each feeding, sterilize the shield by boiling for 2–3 minutes. Let it air dry completely. The included protective case keeps it clean between uses, whether at home or in your diaper bag.
