Our nipple shields help to protect sore nipples by creating a barrier, without disturbing your breastfeeding routine

· 

  •          100% ultra-thin, skin feel silicone 
  •          universal fit for all mums
  •          protects sore nipples without disrupting breastfeeding
  •          protective storage and sterilising case
  •         EarthSmart® - Biodegrades in landfill without leaving microplastics behind

Our nipple shields are made from 100% ultra-thin skin-like feel silicone for a soft and natural. Suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin. Half-shield shape ensures that baby will still feel relaxed and comforted by your natural scent and bond.

Nipple shields offer protection by creating a barrier to help sore nipples heal, without disrupting your breastfeeding routine. They can also help to improve latch if you’re experiencing difficulty or pain, or if you have flat or inverted nipples. Your baby will naturally stretch and flex your nipple by making a teat shape in their mouth, but flat or inverted nipples can make it difficult for your baby to do this effectively. Using nipple shields in this instance will help your baby to form the natural shape for easier feeding. 

Our nipple shields come with a protective storage and sterilising case to keep your nipple shields clean and hygienic.

Part of a coordinated range of feeding accessories.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hazel ★★★★★

The ultra-thin silicone is so flexible I honestly forget I'm wearing it, which makes nursing way less painful. My soreness healed up within a few days without any disruption to her latch.

Ellie ★★★★★

After a week of cracked, painful nipples I was ready to give up nursing, and these made it bearable again. The silicone is soft and skin-like, so my baby didn't seem to notice the barrier at all. Feeding sessions finally don't make me wince.

Violet ★★★★★

These shields are so thin I honestly forget they’re on, and the silicone really does feel like skin. My nipples stay protected while nursing, but our usual routine hasn’t changed one bit.
