Product Description
Philips Avent Nipple Shields – Medium 21mm with Hygiene Case
Designed to support breastfeeding when latch-on difficulties or nipple discomfort make feeding more challenging. The Philips Avent Nipple Shields feature an ultra-thin, butterfly-shaped design that helps baby latch while allowing the nose and chin to remain in contact with mum's breast for reassuring skin-to-skin contact.
Supports Latching
The shield provides a defined nipple shape that can help babies experiencing early latch-on challenges or a weaker sucking technique.
Butterfly Shape
Its cut-away butterfly design allows baby's nose and chin to touch the breast, helping maintain close skin contact during feeding.
Gentle Protection
Ultra-thin silicone creates a protective layer that can help reduce rubbing and stretching when nipples are sore, cracked or painful.
- Designed to support babies experiencing latch-on difficulties.
- Medium 21mm size.
- Ultra-thin butterfly shape encourages skin-to-skin contact.
- Three openings at the tip help regulate breast milk flow.
- Can provide additional protection for sore or cracked nipples.
- May be helpful for flat or inverted nipples according to the supplied product information.
- Suitable for use when combining breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
- Made from soft silicone.
- BPA-free according to the supplied product information.
- Designed for straightforward cleaning and sterilising.
- The butterfly-shaped shield leaves areas of the breast uncovered so baby's nose and chin can remain against mum's skin.
- This allows baby to smell mum's scent and maintain physical contact while feeding.
- Position the shield centrally over the nipple so baby can achieve an effective latch around the nipple and surrounding area.
- Three small openings in the tip allow breast milk to pass through while baby feeds.
- According to the supplied product information, the shield may help babies feed at their own pace where milk flow is particularly strong or baby has difficulty managing the flow.
