MAM Nipple Shield | Small | 2 Pack | Comes in Sterilisable Travel Case | SkinSoft Silicone Familiar for Baby | Protects and Supports Breastfeeding

Great products. These were critical for us in the first few weeks. Highly recommend

I tried several different brands of nipple shield before me and my baby settled on these MAM ones. They are the only ones my son would easily latch onto in the early days of breastfeeding.I initially began using shields a day after giving birth as my son wouldn't latch onto my inverted nipples. He was also later diagnosed with tongue-tie and a high palate. These are the ones he seemed to find easiest and they also have the longest nipple part of the shields we tried.I ended up buying all sizes of this shield before deciding which were most effective. Finding the right size made a massive difference, not just in comfort but in my baby's ability to get milk from my breast.I have posted a comparison photo showing all sizes of nipple shield in relation to one another. The flat part of the shield is the same for all sizes it is only the nipple part that differs.For me, I found the small appeared to fit but gave me blood blisters and my son got very little milk from my breast. I found large to be most effective, I think because of my inverted nipples it helped to draw as much of the surrounding nipple into the shield as possible.They are easy to clean and sterilise, you can sterilise them in the case they come with and they are lasting well despite repeated cleaning.My son is 3 months old now and we are still using these shields. I use them whilst doing breast compressions to make it easier to remove milk as the shields act as a bit of a barrier. With the support of my local infant feeding team I intend to continue to use them as long as they are still working for us.These shields have made the difference between me being able to breastfeed or not so I cannot praise them enough!

Good shields but the sizings are off! In a 17mm but the small size was way too small. Medium is perfect.

I honestly didn’t think this could be the solution to my problem, but it truly was. My baby and I were both so frustrated with breastfeeding — she kept unlatching and it just wasn’t working. Once I started using this nipple shield, everything changed. She latches perfectly now, and breastfeeding has become such a happy and peaceful experience for both of us. My nipple also molded in the best way for her latch. I’m so relieved and grateful — this product made all the difference!

Unfortunately I found these really rigid, as did baby. She was unable to latch due to this and I was left with a really sore nipple after just one use/feed. We had previously been using a boots own brand nipple shields and will be going back to these as much comfier and really soft which a more natural shape for her to latch to. These did stay in place really well though. If you're after a soft type shield which mimics a true nipple i would opt for a different type to these.

Allowed me to breastfeed my premature baby. Easy to clean and sterilise and little storage case is great for keeping them clean. Sizing is a bit tricky but once they fit, they are easy to use.

Helped me establish breastfeeding while having issues with latching baby, easy to clean and useMilk can go everywhere if baby unlatches quickly

It took me a while to get to grips with these but trust me when I say it is worth persevering if you can.My baby girl had a tongue tie so feeding on the breast was so painful. We decided to express and bottle feed for just over a week whilst we waited for her tongue tie division appointment.Getting her back onto the breast was a struggle and she just would not latch. I’d read online that nipple shields can be good to use in the transition from bottle back to breast. LIFESAVER.Getting them to stick is the key. I use a little bit of breast milk in the tip and around the shield. Let it dry a little so it’s tacky, otherwise they just slide around don’t stick down.Honestly so grateful for these!

Seems quite big size

My baby is now 5 months old. For the past 5 months, we have been on a breastfeeding roller coaster. We saw 4 lactation consultants. Baby girl had posterior tongue tie, high palate and "small mouth". She has a frenectomy and a lot of my pain was resolved, however ... her latch improved only slightly. She continue to slip off the breast repeatedly, getting more and more frustrated at the breast... she would cry and flail and scream bloody murder. We resorted to primarily exclusive pumping with some breastfeeding (while using Medela nipple shields) prior to naps (when she wasn't ravenous and sleepy enough not to get impatient).She gets a better latch with the Medela shields but still not great at all. She gets frustrated quite a bit, kicks and turns her head... then the Medela shield is slipping all over the place. Beyond frustrating for the both of us. The Medela shields are quite thick and the perfect cone shape is still hard for her to latch onto.It's been a journey and I'm surprised I haven't given up. I'm so glad I didn't. Baby girl has always liked her MAM soothers. I've tried a million soothers and she can't keep them in her mouth longer than 5 minutes. So I saw these MAM nipple shields online and went on the hunt for a place to buy them in Canada. Couldn't find a single seller... not even on Amazon. I contacted MAM themselves, they responded with "sorry, not available in Canada"... and offered no help. I was pretty bummed out. They sell everything else in Canada, why not their shields? I even gave them my sob story and told them how their soothers was all that my baby could keep in her mouth and that I was certain the shape of their shields would be helpful. OH WELL.ANYWAYS, then I see these lovely sellers from the UK are selling these shields on Amazon now. Bought a pack of 2 for around $12-15.My baby can finally latch!! She breastfeeds for 30-45 minutes... and she's not getting frustrated and wailing! I can't stress this enough... these shields are amazing. The shape stops my baby from slipping off... the thinness of the silicone allows her to trigger let down and the shield sticks to my breast SO MUCH better... it has wide wings that allow me to also hold it down when she's resituating without getting my fingers in her way. The tip of the nipple shield get ever so slightly thicker, creating sort of a "nub" at the tip.. and I honestly find this "nub" help get to grip the nipple and not slip off like she does with bare breast and the Medela shields.If you are having breastfeeding issues, give these a try. I am 20mm in Medela shields and size 2 in MAM shields. I hope my review helps at that one other mother with breastfeeding woes. Don't give up just yet! Try these. I'm 5 months in and we're moving into exclusive breastfeeding territory. 👀 Will update if opinion changes, but we've been using these for 2 months and we haven't looked back! 🤞🏼15/02/21 UPDATE: We’ve made it through an entire year of breastfeeding ... all thanks to these shields!! I remember LC’s telling us that “nipple shields are not a long term solution.” They were for us! Without them, we would have had to stop.

At first I thought mine was size one. Just tried to order size two in case but it fit my nipplesperfectly and it works a lot better than Linsinoh. Such a life saver since my boy doesn’t know how to suck well :( . Anyway he’s a Mam fan , bottles and nipple shield are his favorite . Other brand is a No No for him hahaha

Ottimo prodotto mi ha salvato l’allattamento!Senza la mia bambina faceva fatica ad attaccarsi al seno invece con questi paracapezzoli sono riuscita ad allattarla fino a 7 mesi senza mai avere una ragade!! Ottimo prodotto a mio avviso dovrebbe essere più pubblicizzato!

Tremendas, no había encontrado otras de esta talla y son todo un acierto. Muy cómodas, fáciles de poner y de limpiarAdemás viene con esa cajita que es ideal!
