Product Overview

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Medela s Contact Nipple Shields. I was pleased to find that they are specifically designed for breastfeeding mothers who may have difficulties with latching, inverted nipples, overactive letdown, and soreness.

The Contact Nipple Shields are made from 100 ultra thin and soft silicone to ensure maximum skin contact between mother and baby. They also come with a convenient carrying case for easy travel. I found the shields to be very comfortable and easy to clean, which was a huge plus for me!

The shields feature a unique design with a cut out area that encourages maximum skin contact between you and your baby. I was quite impressed by how well the shield stayed in place while breastfeeding. It didn t slip off or move around, which is something I have experienced with other nipple shields in the past.

I also appreciate that Medela has taken the time to ensure their products are made without BPA, a known carcinogen often found in plastic items such as bottles and nipples. This is an important consideration for any breastfeeding mother as it can help reduce the risk of exposure to toxins during nursing sessions.

Overall, I would highly recommend Medela s Contact Nipple Shields for any breastfeeding mother looking for an effective solution for common breastfeeding issues such as flat or inverted nipples or those experiencing latching difficulties, soreness, and overactive letdown. They are comfortable, easy to use and clean, and provide maximum skin contact between mother and baby. The fact that they are made without BPA is an added bonus as it eliminates any potential risks associated with exposure to toxins.
