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

It was really helpful. Got this advice from my midwife to get one. The product is really good. Didn’t know it has sizes but I got size 2 and it fits well perfectly.

For me this has been a real game changer. My baby is 10 days old and has struggled with latching from the beginning. She refused to feed from the left breast and would only feed from the right after struggling to latch anywhere from around 15 mins to 1 hour and by that time she was exhausted and extremely upset and hungry. I spoke to multiple midwives and health visitors, I've also breast fed successfully before so know what the latch should feel like and how she should be latching on. Nothing I was trying or doing was helping her to latch until I found these. My baby had lost alot of weight since birth and we are having weigh-ins with health professionals regularly. Since using these I have found she latches straight away, feeds off both sides, and with the help of an expressed bottle to top her up after feeds she has started to gain weight again really well. They have totally changed my breastfeeding experience with her and she is a happier and fuller baby because of it. Would 100% recommend trying, it might not work for everyone but it has worked for us. I'm so glad I found these and gave them a go. Size 2 fits me well, I did measure my nipple to make sure this was the right size for me. I did have to you tube the official 'how to use' video to make sure I was doing it right. The instructions it comes with on the pack aren't really clear. They sterilise in their case really easily and quickly. Only cons I have are that the silicon doesn't always stick particularly well to skin surrounding nipple but given how well she is feeding now I don't mind. Sometimes baby is so hungry they just latch straight onto the nipple part because it's quite prominent and in their face. This latch does hurt so be sure to take them off, re position and get a wider, deeper latch with the shield on and then it should be much more comfortable. They are great but you still have to get the right positioning with them in order for them to be comfortable.

I’ve tried several different brands of shield, and this is the only one that I and my baby (now four weeks old) get on with. My baby wouldn’t latch due to a high palate but will latch with these. Although I am mostly expressing and bottle-feeding, we both enjoy the closeness of breastfeeding and these shields allow us to do so. I will just say that the ‘teat’ on these shields seems especially large compared to other brands, particularly for a newborn’s small mouth, but my baby doesn’t seem to mind too much and managed with the M size from a week old.

Great fit. Secured to the breast well with no slipping or leaking and the box makes it easy to store and carry with you. Size is important to avoid pain Highly recommend

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.

Third type I tried and so glad I did!! AMAZING! Me and babies favourite hands

Worked on the first try with a baby that struggled to latch for weeks. Awesome product

Really like the shape and stick of these shields. I've used 3 different brands (Medela and Boots) but these are by far my favourite ones. They made it so much easier to latch for my baby and stay well on the boob.
