Nipple Shields & Formers
The early days of breastfeeding can be demanding for some mothers, especially if problems arise with latching or nipple sensitivity. Nipple shields and nipple formers provide practical help in dealing with these situations and support a more comfortable feeding process.
Nipple shields act as a protective layer between the nipple and the baby's mouth. Silicone nipple shields help with soreness, injury or difficulties with latching. Their shape and size should match individual needs so that correct function is maintained during breastfeeding.
By contrast, nipple formers help prepare the nipples for breastfeeding, especially if they are inverted or flat. They are worn discreetly under clothing and, with gentle pressure, help shape them naturally before feeding itself.
The correct size, material and method of use all play an important role. Well-chosen aids can ease the first weeks of breastfeeding and contribute to greater comfort for both mother and baby.
