The Haakaa Silicone Nipple Shields are a supportive solution for mothers facing latch challenges, flat or inverted nipples, or sore and cracked nipples.

Haakaa Round Base Nipple Shields: How to Use

Before use, clean the shield in boiling water and ensure your breast is clean and dry. Express a few drops of milk into the shield to encourage your baby to accept it. Then, squeeze the chamber, fold back the base, center over your nipple, and press onto your breast, releasing slowly until you feel gentle suction. Adjust as needed for comfort.

Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield: Features for Comfort and Safety

These shields are BPA, PVC, phthalate, and lead-free, ensuring safety for both mum and baby. The one-piece design is simple to clean and sterilize. The variable flow teat helps prevent choking, making the transition to bottle-feeding easier.

Can You Use Haakaa Nipple Shields Long Term?

While these shields are safe for extended use, it's recommended to work with a lactation consultant if you plan to use them long-term. They can help address underlying latch issues and guide you on gradually weaning from the shield to direct breastfeeding.

Will Nipple Shields Reduce Milk Supply?

Nipple shields themselves do not reduce milk supply. In fact, they can help maintain milk production by enabling effective feeding. However, proper latch and regular removal of milk are essential. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare professional.
