Medela Contact Silicone Nipple Protectors protect and allow the skin to recover, preventing clothing from rubbing against them. They are recommended for those with sore or cracked nipples.
Size S (16mm).
Soft silicone bottom with a snug fit, comfortable for sensitive skin.
Ventilation holes allow the skin to breathe, promoting recovery.
Flexible, to adapt to the shape of your breast.
They can be used throughout the day, between breastfeeding sessions.
They look natural under your clothes.
You should clean your nipple shields after each use. Separate the parts and wash with a mild cleaning solution. Then rinse well in cold water and dry on a clean cloth.
Medela nipple shields have two parts: a soft, flexible silicone membrane that is comfortable for sensitive skin and an outer shell with ventilation holes to let the skin breathe. They adjust to each other easily:
Fit the membrane tightly around the outer shell.
Place the assembled nipple shield inside the bra with the membrane opening centered over the nipple. The holes must face upwards.
Some of your breast milk may collect in the nipple shields when you use them. You should not give this milk to your baby.
