Medela Contact Nipple Shields – A Gentle Assist When Breastfeeding Gets Tough

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy. For many new mums, challenges like sore, cracked, flat, or inverted nipples can make feeding painful or even feel impossible. Medela Contact Nipple Shields are designed to help you through this patch, offering protection and gentle support. This will still allow you to continue nourishing your baby at the breast.

How Medela Contact Nipple Shields Support Breastfeeding

The Medela Contact Nipple Shields act as a soft barrier between your baby’s mouth and your skin, assisting with latch-on and helping reduce discomfort during feeds. Whether you’re experiencing pain due to cracked nipples or struggling with latching issues caused by flat or inverted nipples, these ultra-thin shields can provide welcome relief.

Made from soft, flexible, and skin-like silicone, the shields are taste-free and odourless, so your baby won’t be put off during feeds. They’re also BPA-free for added peace of mind.

Unique Design for More Natural Feeding

One of the standout features of these nipple shields is their unique shape. The nipple shields are specially contoured to maximise skin-to-skin contact between you and your baby. This helps maintain a close, comforting bond, even when using a shield.

Available in three sizes (S = 16mm, M = 20mm, L = 24mm), they ensure a comfortable and secure fit. To help you select the correct size, download this guide to measure yourself for the correct fit. You will need a printer to use this guide.

A Short-Term Tool with Long-Term Benefits

Nipple shields are best used as a short-term aid while addressing the underlying cause of your breastfeeding discomfort. Consult with a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist to ensure you’re using the right size and technique. With the right support, many mums find they can return to feeding without shields as their baby grows and their body heals.
