Medela Contact Nipple Shields - 20mm - 2-Pack

On day 4 my baby could not latch on. I got the nipple shields and they were a life saver. Now he latches on every time. Thank you so much for making these.

Was excited to receive the nipple case shield since I use my nipple shield so often. However after just a few uses the case cracked. Shame.

I've never had a latch issue with any of my other babies until now! My sister recommend I try this and my baby is finally latching on! It's like he doesn't even know it's not his bottle! There is only one thing I would change about this product. I think it should be colored so when it falls off you can find it again! It is clear and blends in to every place it falls. Very difficult to find especially at night!

I started using these shield when my baby was 2 weeks old. She lost 10% weight and hadn’t put any on for 2 weeks. Midwife said I was going to have to top up with bottle as baby wasn’t getting what she needed from me. First time mum I was gutted. My hubby bought me these shields as I was in agony with scabbed nipples. As soon as I put them on my baby latched and instantly started gulping down milk for the first time. I was amazed! There is no way I could have continued breastfeeding without them! Baby is now 4 months and EBF. I would have liked to get rid of the shields but she just damages my nipples every time so I’ve accepted this is the way for us. Lactation consultant put my mind at ease too that it’s old advise to only use these short term as they used to be very thick and didn’t allow proper stimulation for milk. These are so thin it hasn’t affected my supply in any way, I have 4 pairs but only use 3 as 1 got caught in the case and it bent it slightly so be careful with the casing.

Why are these are not offered in the same sizes as the flanges? I use 27 mm flanges and the 24 mm Nicole shield is very obviously too small for me. I don’t know how they can advertise this as “sizes for all women” when they don’t make them in the larger sizes. Very disappointed.
