Haakaa Silicone Nipple Shields 2 Pack are silicone nipple shields for helping mums who are having latch-on issues related to a premature or ill infant, flat or inverted nipples, tongue/lip tie, an overactive let-down or just getting used to breastfeeding.

Features:

• Food-grade silicone.
• For latching difficulties or flat and inverted nipples to help mums continue breastfeeding.
• Before use: Sterilise the shield in boiling water and ensure your hands & breasts are clean and dry.
• To use: Before attaching to your breast, place a few drops of drinking-quality water or breast milk on the underside of the brim to help the shield stick to your skin. Holding the shield at the base of the nipple area, press nipple until shield is halfway inverted. Rotate the shield so the cut-out area is placed where the baby’s nose will be when feeding. Centre the shield over your nipple, enclosing as much of your nipple as possible. Then, press the shield down onto your skin to flip it right side out. The base should sit flush against your skin. With the shield applied, you can now breastfeed as normal.

Tip: Before attaching to your breast, express a few drops of milk into the shield. This will encourage your baby to accept the teat as they latch on.
