Medela nipple shield can be an effective tool for a new breastfeeding mother with latch-on problems or an overactive let-down response. Medela Nipple Shield, worn over the nipple and areola, has a special design that allows an uninterrupted flow of breast milk, while providing a larger surface for the baby to latch on to. The nipple shield enables continued breastfeeding without interruption until these problems are resolved.
WARNING: It is important to use a nipple shield under the direction of a healthcare professional or lactation consultant.
