MAM Nipple Shield - Small

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

EDIT: since writing the original review I was actually able to establish a proper latch with my baby and no longer needed to use the shields after about 2-3 weeks of use. I'd recommend starting your transition away from the shields by taking them off halfway through a feed every so often, and then just gradually decreasing the amount of time using them. Amazing things, my baby has been exclusively breastfed since about 6 weeks thanks to these shields! I never leave reviews but felt compelled to for these as they've singlehandedly enabled me to breastfeed! After struggling with latching since the birth of my baby (for no reason other than just incompatible breast/nipple shape) I bought these at my husbands suggestion and my baby latched immediately! I had all but abandoned hope of breastfeeding and was really defeated as we just hadn't seemed to make it happen (despite chatting with lactation consultants and midwives/health visitors) and baby was already 3 weeks old, but these shields provide a sufficient latching space for baby, and they aren't just for protecting sore nipples as I had thought so I'm over the moon. I know these are suggested for short term only, but in my case these are literally the difference between breastfeeding or not right now, so I'm happy to use them in combination with bottle feeding expressed milk during the day for the next little while as needed. I bought 2 extra pairs too so now I can feel confident to feed my baby during the night (so no having to warm a bottle of expressed milk at 4am!) or if we are out and about I have peace of mind that my baby has milk available if needed 💕

Great product, my baby is only a week old and had to start using these due to bruised nipples. Using these has made it much easier and not as painful to breastfeed. Makes breastfeeding more relaxing using these. Only complaint I would make is that it doesn't come with instructions/step by step guide to cleaning them. Only says they can go in a microwave for 3 minutes but doesn't mention on them that you need to put water in with it before popping in the microwave....so we ended up putting them in the microwave as they are in their travel box and it melted the plastic casing. Think we will just sterilise them in boiling water instead. Otherwise my baby seems to be fine breastfeeding with these.

Quite simply wouldn't have been able to breastfeed without these as my babies mouth was so small she couldn't latch to my larger breast and flat nipple. She's now a very heathly 3 month old and hasn't yet had a drop of anything other than my breastmilk all via these, we're just now at the point of weaning her away from them as she's big enough now. They are abit of a faff, particularly when you're out, getting them on and making sure baby doesn't knock it off etc. and I find baby does end up dribbling alot with them so I tuck a muslin under my breast to catch it but otherwise they're absolute lifesavers and no woman should be ashamed to use them. Thankfully my supply has never been affected but I know this isn't the case for some women.

I bought this for my sister in law amd she was so grateful, she used it for the first few months of birth and it's amazing, good buy

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.

Like a lot of other reviews on here - I don't usually bother to review anything I buy from Amazon but this made such a huge difference to me I thought I musr if it could to another new mum! My baby's tongue tied and in first few days due to increased pull on the nipple and also my left one being not very sticky-outy it meant that the latch on was so painful I was almost crying + at very least vocalising with discomfort. The rest of the feed was becoming more uncomfortable too despite me really trying to relax for baby. These little "nipple hats" as I call them changed everything. Not only was it so much easier for my baby (going from around 10 minute tops to 40+ minutes feed when the hat was on), it also helped draw out my wonky nipple and was SO MUCH less painful! No more tension, wincing - just a relaxed positive experience thanks to this product!

Not something I knew existed prior to the birth of my second child, I do not know why these aren’t recommended more often. A week into breastfeeding with cracked, bleeding nipples I was told that I had slightly small/flattish nipples and my baby had a lazy latch so we’d have to try harder (how much harder can you try?) or accept that formula was our best option. Cue finding these. Made feeding bearable whilst I repaired and baby is happy to use them. We are 9 weeks in now and our only issue is that baby still prefers these over the actual nipple and when offered the alternative will only try it for a few minutes before deciding it’s too much effort to latch. We will continue to wean him off the shield but we aren’t unhappy with the situation as baby is feeding well. These literally saved our breastfeeding journey. That is not to say they’re perfect as they can be a bit of a faff and there have been several instances where they’ve come off mid feed - this is mainly down to the fact that I don’t always have two hands free to attach the shield and so it is not fitted correctly prior to commencing feeding. Cleaning isn’t much of a problem - a teat brush is required and I would definitely make a note of the fact that it’s not something that can be used one handed and from time to time even two hands does not guarantee that the shield won’t pop off but overall they’re fairly decent and we haven’t had too many problems. There is the small issue of looking somewhat like a lactating dominatrix, but again you just get on with it.

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 limpiar Además viene con esa cajita que es ideal!

Ho utilizzato questo prodotto per entrambe le mie figlie. Non senti fastidio quando all’atto e rispetto alle altre tipologie di prodotto sono molto morbidi e si sciacquano facilmente. Insieme è arrivata anche la custodia, indispensabile per portarli in giro.

Dopo aver provato sia quelli della Chicco che quelli dell'Avent, finalmente ho trovato questi.. Silicone finissimo, si adattano perfettamente al seno, non si spostano e quindi non fa ingerire aria al piccolo durante la suzione.. Unica pecca, ingialliscono all'incirca dopo un mese.. Sicuramente il silicone non regge più di tanto le frequenti sterilizzazioni a freddo e a vapore.. Alla fine non mi importa, tanto secondo le linee guida vanno cambiate Massimo ogni 2 mesi!

Perfetti, mi sono trovata subito bene.. davvero confortevoli mi hanno permesso di allattare senza dolore già dai primi giorni di ospedale! Basta bagnarli sotto l'acqua e si attaccano perfettamente! Ottimo prodotto!!
