Silicone Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding - 2 Pack

Breastfeed Comfortably Through Sore Nipples, Latching Issues & Nipple Challenges

The Problem: You're struggling with painful, cracked, or bleeding nipples, flat or inverted nipples that baby can't latch onto, or a baby who won't latch properly. Breastfeeding is excruciating or impossible, and you're considering giving up on nursing entirely.

The Solution: Tiny Bloom Silicone Nipple Shields create a protective barrier between your nipple and baby's mouth, allowing you to continue breastfeeding while your nipples heal or while you work on latching challenges. Ultra-thin, flexible silicone feels natural for baby while protecting your sore nipples from further damage.

When to Use Nipple Shields

• Sore, Cracked, or Damaged Nipples: Protect painful nipples while they heal, allowing you to continue breastfeeding without excruciating pain
• Flat or Inverted Nipples: Give baby something to latch onto when your nipple doesn't protrude enough naturally
• Latching Difficulties: Help baby learn to latch correctly while you work with a lactation consultant
• Transitioning from Bottle to Breast: Familiar bottle-like shape helps bottle-fed babies transition to breastfeeding
• Premature Babies: Smaller mouths and weaker suction benefit from the structured shape of a nipple shield
• Short-Term Support: Use once mature milk has come in (2-5 days post-birth) as a temporary aid

Why Lactation Consultants Recommend These Shields

• Ultra-Thin, Flexible Silicone: Mimics the feel of skin for baby while providing protection for mum. Thin enough to maintain milk flow and bonding.
• Butterfly Cut-Out Design: Thoughtful cut-outs for baby's nose and chin allow close skin-to-skin contact during feeding, maintaining bonding and natural feeding position.
• Small Holes for Milk Flow: Designed to allow milk to flow naturally while protecting your nipple from direct contact and friction.
• Hat-Shaped Design: Crown and brim shape helps baby latch correctly with mouth wide and lips over the brim.
• 100% BPA-Free, Food-Grade Silicone: Safe for baby, no harmful chemicals or plastics.
• 2-Pack for Convenience: Always have a clean shield ready while one is being washed or sterilised.
• Multiple Sizes Available: Choose the right size to ensure comfort and proper milk flow (incorrect size can reduce milk transfer).
• Easy to Clean & Sterilise: Dishwasher safe, steriliser safe, or boil for hygienic cleaning.

How to Use Nipple Shields Effectively

1. Choose the Right Size: Measure your nipple to select the correct shield size. Too small causes discomfort; too large reduces milk flow.
2. Apply Breast Milk: Put a few drops of breast milk inside the shield and on the tip to encourage baby to latch and create suction.
3. Position the Shield: Stretch the shield over your nipple, ensuring it's centered. Align cut-outs so baby's nose and chin can touch your breast.
4. Encourage Proper Latch: Wait for baby's mouth to open wide, then bring baby to breast. Baby's lips should cover the brim of the shield.
5. Check for Good Latch: Baby's chin should touch your breast, jaw moving rhythmically. You should feel no pain or rubbing. Milk should be visible in the shield after feeding.
6. Work with a Lactation Consultant: Nipple shields are a tool, not a permanent solution. Get professional support to address underlying latching issues.

Signs of a Good Latch with Nipple Shield

• Baby's mouth is wide open with lips flanged over the brim of the shield
• Baby's chin is touching your breast
• Baby's jaw is moving rhythmically (not just sucking at the tip)
• You feel no pain, pinching, or rubbing
• Milk is visible in the shield after feeding
• Baby is swallowing regularly and seems satisfied after feeds

• Premature or Small Babies: Help tiny mouths latch onto larger nipples
• Bottle-to-Breast Transition: Familiar shape helps bottle-fed babies learn to breastfeed

Weaning Off Nipple Shields

Nipple shields are meant to be a temporary aid. Work with a lactation consultant to address underlying issues and gradually wean off shields:

• Try removing the shield mid-feed once baby is feeding well
• Offer the breast without shield when baby is calm, sleepy, or just waking
• Encourage lots of skin-to-skin contact to promote natural latching
• Be patient—every feed without the shield is progress, even if baby doesn't latch perfectly
• Don't force it—if baby becomes frustrated, use the shield and try again next feed

Important Considerations

• Nipple shields can reduce milk transfer if not used correctly—ensure proper size and latch
• Monitor baby's weight gain and wet/dirty nappies to ensure adequate milk intake
• Work with a lactation consultant to address root causes of latching issues
• Nipple shields are a tool to help you continue breastfeeding, not a permanent solution
• Some babies become dependent on shields—work on weaning as soon as possible
