Ameda Contact Nipple Shield

Ameda Contact Nipple Shield

The Ameda Contact Nipple Shield is a specialized silicone accessory designed to help mothers and babies overcome temporary breastfeeding challenges, typically used under the guidance of a healthcare professional or lactation consultant.

Key Features and Benefits

• Latching Support: The shield provides a firmer, more consistent target for babies who are struggling to latch onto the breast, especially helpful for premature babies, those with a poor sucking reflex, or when the mother has flat or inverted nipples.
• Unique Cut-Out Design: Ameda's shields feature a unique open section on the side. This is designed to maximize skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby, which encourages bonding and allows the baby to smell the breast, both of which are important for successful latching.
• Relief for Mom: It helps protect sore, cracked, or sensitive nipples by reducing friction during feeding, allowing the skin a chance to heal while still enabling breastfeeding.
• Material: Made from ultra-thin, soft, and flexible silicone for a natural feel. It also features a firmer nipple center for the baby to grip, and a softer surround area for breast stimulation.
• Safety: The shields are BPA-free and DEHP-free, washable, and reusable.
