Haakaa Orthodontic Breastfeeding Nipple Shield Triangle Shape 1 Pack

The Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield is made of 100% soft silicone, with an extended teat that puts space between your nipple and your baby's mouth.

If your little one bites down, pulls away, or if you have sore or cracked nipples, you will still be able to breastfeed with ease and comfort. The Nipple Shields suction onto your breast, giving you a hands-free breastfeeding experience.

Available with a round or triangle base, the Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield allows you to experience breastfeeding without the worry of discomfort and pain!

The round base is larger and suctions on more easily, making it more suited for those who are new to using nipple shields.

The triangle base is smaller but allows for more skin-to-skin contact, making it more suitable for those who are experienced with using nipple shields.

This product is designed for mothers who are physically unable to breastfeed due to sore or cracked nipples and should only be used in the interim while you heal. If you can breastfeed successfully and experience slight discomfort, it is suggested to use the traditional nipple shields as a protective alternative. If you have flat or inverted nipples, have a look at the Silicone Inverted Nipple Aspirators.

Features:

• Nipple design allows babies to mimic a natural sucking rhythm, making it easier for babies with difficulty latching.
• Suctions on to all breast shapes, making it easier for new mums to use and enjoy a hands-free breastfeeding experience.
• The anti-slip ridged outer edge make the nipple shield easier to hold while the baby is feeding.
• Variable flow teat allows your baby to drink continuously and prevents them from choking if milk flows too fast.
• Space between mum's nipple and the nipple shield teat prevents baby from biting the nipple.
• BPA, PVC and phthalate-free.
• Dishwasher and microwave steriliser safe.

Cleaning:

Wash before and after each use. Although dishwasher safe, it is recommended hand washing in warm soapy water and rinsing and drying thoroughly. Do not use any bleach-based cleaners or tablets to sterilise or clean your Haakaa products. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2-3 minutes.

How To Use the Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield:

1. Squeeze the chamber and fold back the base of the shield.

2. Centre the opening of the shield over your nipple, press to your breast and fold the base to its original position.

3. Release your grip on the chamber - you should feel light suction.

4. You may not get the shield perfectly in place first try, so readjust until it is comfortable.

5. Introduce your baby to the shield to start feeding. Your breast milk will continue to flow into the extended teat, allowing your baby to feed.

Tip: Try expressing a few drops of breast milk into the shield before attaching to promote an easier latch.

Always read the label & use only as directed.

This product is designed for mothers who are physically unable to breastfeed due to sore, cracked nipples and should only be used in the interim before returning to natural breastfeeding once your nipple has healed. If you can breastfeed successfully and experience slight discomfort, we suggest using our traditional nipple shields as a protective alternative if your nipples become raw and sore.
