Haakaa Nipple Shields are a gentle yet effective aid for breastfeeding mothers facing latch difficulties, flat or inverted nipples, or sore, cracked nipples. Made from soft, food-grade silicone that is free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, and lead, these shields are safe for both mom and baby. The ultra-thin 18mm design allows for increased skin-to-skin contact, helping baby feel your body temperature for a more natural feeding experience. The unique cut-out shape and extended teat increase the distance between your nipple and the shield, preventing biting and helping baby latch correctly. Each package includes two shields and a convenient storage case for keeping them clean and protected.
Haakaa Silicone Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding: Comfort and Relief
These nipple shields are specifically designed to address common breastfeeding challenges. They can be used with infants who have trouble latching, mothers with sensitive nipples, or anyone needing a temporary solution while healing. The soft, flexible silicone adapts to your shape, offering a comfortable fit.
How to Use Haakaa Nipple Shields
To use, express a few drops of milk into the shield before applying to encourage your baby to accept it. Then, squeeze the chamber, fold back the base, and center it over your nipple. As baby feeds, milk flows continuously into the extended teat, allowing for a steady supply.
Benefits for Latch and Comfort
The ultra-thin 18mm shield provides a natural feel, while the rounded base and variable flow teat help prevent choking. It also aids in transitioning from breast to bottle, as the teat mimics a bottle nipple. The cut-out shape increases skin contact, enhancing bonding and milk transfer.
Easy Care and Storage
Each shield is one-piece and easy to clean and sterilize. The included storage case keeps them hygienic when not in use, making it perfect for on-the-go moms.
