Product Overview
I recently tried the Medela Contact Nipple Shield, Extra Small for my newborn baby. As a first time mom I was worried about not being able to breastfeed my baby successfully. I heard that nipple shields can help with latching difficulties and other breastfeeding issues, so I decided to give it a try.
The Medela Contact Nipple Shield is designed for continued breastfeeding in special situations such as latching difficulties, flat nipples, overactive letdowns, and inverted nipples. It has an innovative cut out shape that allows for maximized skin to skin contact between you and your little one while promoting the bonding experience that breastfeeding provides. It also comes in three sizes 16mm, 20mm, 24mm so you can easily find the most comfortable size for you and your baby.
I found this nipple shield to be incredibly easy to use. It was simple enough for me to figure out how to place it on my nipple correctly and latch my baby onto it without any issues. The material of the shield is 100 ultra thin, soft silicone which makes it very comfortable to use and safe for both me and my baby.
The durability of the Medela Contact Nipple Shield was impressive as well even after several uses it still looks like new! Cleaning this product was also incredibly easy all I had to do was rinse it off with warm water and soap after each use. The value for money is great too since this product is relatively inexpensive compared to other brands on the market.
Overall, I highly recommend the Medela Contact Nipple Shield if you are looking for a way to continue breastfeeding despite any special circumstances or issues you may have with latching onto your little one. This product is perfect for anyone who wants an easy to use, durable nipple shield that will provide maximized skin to skin contact between mother and baby while promoting successful breastfeeding experiences. Be sure to consult with a lactation professional before using this product however in order to ensure proper usage and sizing as well as additional assistance with any special breastfeeding situations you may have.
