Lansinoh Contact Nipple Shields support moms with breastfeeding when their babies have latching issues. A nipple shield is used under the recommendation and care of a lactation specialist or midwife to provide mom and baby with a tool to make latching on easier as possible barriers are figured out. Sometimes latching on may be difficult due to the mother's nipple shape is flat or inverted. Breastfeeding problems may also stem when the baby is small or premature or has a lip tie or tongue tie. A nipple shield is used as a last resort option to latch-on difficulties and is used short-term as the specialist works with the mom to improve latching.
Constructed ultra-thin and flexible, the Lansinoh Nipple Shield creates a texture that's easy for the baby to attach to. The top cutout design provides skin-to-skin contact that's helpful once the shield is weaned. This skin sensory is also vital as it triggers the mom's body to let down milk for continued milk production.
Lansinoh Contact Nipple Shields for Nursing includes two shields and a protective storage case. The case conveniently stores both shields so that it's clean and ready for the next feeding. After each use, simply wash with mild soapy water and rinse with hot running water. Dry and place back into the case.
Breastfeeding may cause the nipples to be tender and sore. The Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream is a must-have and is a trusted remedy to soothe nipples on contact. It contains 100% lanolin and is safe for mom and baby and therefore it doesn't need to be washed off before breastfeeding.
How to Use a Contact Nipple Shield
- A lactation specialist often recommends the mom to express a few drops of breastmilk onto the outside of the shield so the baby can smell it to encourage the baby.
- Gently stretch the shield onto the nipple to draw in the nipple
- If needed, place the nipple shield in warm water to make it more pliable.
- Hold it in place with a thumb and finger.
- When the baby's mouth is wide open, quickly place onto the shield.
