Customer Review: Medela Contact Nipple Shield
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product to get baby to latch back on after refusing. And when you are so sore during the first couple weeks. However, I would say to definitely get fitted by a lactation consultant before purchasing, as I needed a size small and a regular sized one.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
I couldn't get my baby to latch at all during first 24 hrs of birth. All the nurses tried to help and he'd get on for maybe 2 seconds, we have multiple nursing lactation consultants come in to help and they had no luck. Finally after 24 hrs one of them recommended this because my poor baby was frustrated and starving.
One of my nipples is still sore but that's because of how I am putting him on I think because my other one I can barely feel now when he's on and he's almost 2 weeks old. I used lanolin on the sore one and it's not so bad when I get him at the right angle.
This is really easy to clean to. Between feedings just wash with little soap and warm/hot water then I keep it in a sealed bowl near my bed for feedings. It helps when you can't get baby to eat and you still want that bonding and contact!
Customer Review: Try this before you give up on breastfeeding!
Summary: 4 Stars
This product allowed me to breastfeed my son despite having "flat" nipples. I never knew I had "flat" nipples because they aren't actually flat, but they would get soft after breastfeeding for only a few seconds and then my son was unable to maintain his latch. These shields gave me the capability to breastfeed. The notch where his nose goes was nice because it made it easier for him to breathe comfortably and it allowed for more skin-to-skin contact. My only complaint is that it didn't stick well enough to my skin and if my son so much as bumped it wrong, it would break the suction and send the milk in the shield running down me. It was hard to keep in place when he was really hungry and rooting wildly. Overall, this is a great product. I just wish I could have breastfed without anything at all, but it wasn't meant to be!Customer Review: Tremendous help
Summary: 4 Stars
We tried the full coverage shield which I always felt restricted my baby's breathing. I actually fit the 24 mm best and have small breasts. That size helped with my baby's struggle to latch. She tore my nipples up if I didn't have this on. The rawness and pain alone was enough to give up breastfeeding, but I was determined. My baby will be two months old in 2 weeks and finally this week she began to take my nipple without the shield successfully. This is a tremendous help for those determined to make breastfeeding work and to ease the pain of poor latch, raw nipples.Customer Review: Don't waste your money

I brought these shields and used it all of 2 times because of sore nipples. But I found hot compresses and the ointment work the best. I haven't used them since and now I don't need them.
