Soft, medical-grade silicone
Soft, medical-grade silicone

Made from 100% soft silicone, the one-piece design has no joints or sharp edges that can irritate skin. The supple material flexes with your breast for a closer, more natural feel while nursing.

Supports easier latching
Supports easier latching

The extended nipple head helps babies mimic a natural sucking rhythm, making latch easier for infants who struggle. Use during feeds when your baby pulls off, bites, or needs extra guidance to latch.

Hands-free, secure suction
Hands-free, secure suction

The round base suctions to many breast shapes for a more hands-free feed and steady hold while baby nurses. Anti-slip ridged edges give a better grip when you need to remove or adjust the shield.

One-piece design
No seams, cracks, or edges, reducing bacteria traps and easing cleaning.
Protects sore nipples
Creates space between your nipple and baby to reduce pain from biting or cracking.
Natural suction flow
Anti-colic variable flow supports continuous feeding without choking or gulping.
BPA free silicone
Made without BPA, PVC, or phthalates for safer contact with breastmilk.
How to Choose a Nipple Shield

Picking the right shield depends on why you need one, how it fits, and how you plan to use it.

  1. Match the reason: If you have cracked or inverted nipples, choose a shield designed to create space and protect tissue while nursing.
  2. Check the opening: Confirm the shield opening size will accommodate your nipple comfortably, without excessive compression or sliding during feeds.
  3. Look for one piece: A single-piece, seamless design reduces places for milk to collect and makes cleaning easier and more hygienic.
  4. Consider flow: Variable-flow nipples help prevent choking or gulping if milk comes quickly, especially for younger or distracted babies.
  5. Plan for cleaning: Pick a shield you can easily hand wash, steam sterilize, or boil according to the product care instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this help with inverted or cracked nipples?

Yes. The extended nipple head creates space and protects sensitive tissue, allowing you to continue breastfeeding with less discomfort.

Is the opening large enough for my nipple?

The shield has a central opening sized to accommodate most nipples, allowing a comfortable fit while keeping the nipple separated from the baby.

Can my baby breathe and feed normally with the shield?

Yes. The shield is designed for continuous, variable flow so babies can feed without gasping or choking when used correctly.

How should I clean and sterilize the shield?

Wash before and after each use, preferably by hand with warm soapy water. You can sterilize by steam or boiling for 2 to 3 minutes.

Do you ship from the US and what is your returns policy?

Yes, we ship from a US warehouse. We offer free US shipping on orders over $100, 30-day returns, and human customer support if you need help.
