Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield – (Nipple Teat / Orthodontic Teat)

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

We offer two teat shapes: the orthodontic teat and the nipple teat. The orthodontic teat is thumb-shaped to replicate the shape of a mother’s nipple during breastfeeding, making it more readily accepted by your baby. The nipple teat replicates the silicone teat of a baby bottle and is better suited to help your baby transition from breast to bottle.

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 are able to breastfeed successfully and experience slight discomfort, we suggest using our traditional nipple shields as a protective alternative if your nipples become raw and sore.

Features:
– Patented one-piece design with no joints, cracks or edges for mould or bacteria to harbour.
– Nipple design allows babies to mimic a natural sucking rhythm, making it easier for babies that have 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 bottle nipple allows baby to drink continuously and prevents them from choking if milk flows too fast.
– Space between mum’s nipple and the nipple shield head prevents baby from biting the nipple.
– BPA, PVC and phthalate-free.
– Dishwasher and microwave sterilizer safe.
