Medela – Contact Nipple Shields L (2 Pcs)

Medela Contact Nipple Shields are thoughtfully designed to provide essential support for breastfeeding mothers experiencing latch-on difficulties, overactive milk let-down, or discomfort from flat, inverted, or sore nipples. These shields serve as a temporary bridge to maintain the breastfeeding bond when nursing might otherwise become painful or physically challenging. By providing a firmer and more prominent surface for the baby to latch onto, these shields assist infants in positioning and holding the nipple correctly for effective sucking and milk transfer, allowing for a successful and less frustrating feeding session for the entire family.

Crafted from ultra-thin, transparent, and flexible silicone, these shields offer unparalleled comfort even on highly sensitive, dry, or cracked skin. The unique ‘Contact’ design features a specific cut-out area that maximizes skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the baby. This innovative shape ensures that the baby can still feel and smell the mother’s comforting scent, which is crucial for maintaining the emotional connection and biological cues that stimulate milk production and baby’s natural feeding instincts. The soft silicone is taste-free and odorless, ensuring that the baby remains focused on the milk without any distractions from foreign materials.

Hygiene and convenience are central to the Medela experience, which is why this set includes two Large (24mm) nipple shields along with a dedicated storage box. The carrying case is made from certified bio-based plastic, providing a sustainable and hygienic solution for mothers to store and carry their shields safely while on the go. The shields are entirely BPA-free and dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean and sanitize daily. Recommended by lactation consultants and pediatricians globally, these shields are a reliable solution for mothers looking to extend their breastfeeding journey while managing the physical demands of early motherhood.
