Avent silicone nipple shield in size M and in presentation of 2 units is a maternal care accessory that favours the baby's feeding. Its main purpose is to protect the mother's nipple and provide a good flow of milk.
Avent silicone nipple shield is specially designed to protect breastfeeding mothers' nipples from irritation, cracks, bleeding and minor injuries. These injuries are usually caused by the baby sucking too hard or by the mother's high skin sensitivity. The nipple shield also supports a smooth breastfeeding, is robust, reliable and sufficiently elastic. These maternal accessories fit snugly to the mother's breast without hurting it or causing annoying rubbing and friction.
The Avent nipple shield is also a very useful item when breastfeeding is difficult because the baby's sucking reflex is not well developed or is not strong enough. Its butterfly-shaped design allows the child to have closer contact with the mother's breast. In this way, the baby feeds naturally and a decrease in milk flow due to lack of sucking is prevented.
Nipple shields are also useful for premature babies to be able to latch on to the breast more easily, especially in cases of inverted or flat nipples. It allows the baby to be introduced to breastfeeding and not be deprived of the benefits it brings in terms of emotional and physical development. On the other hand, it is important to use this accessory correctly, making sure that the milk is really coming out and that the baby is swallowing it properly.
It is also advisable to check that the baby is latched on well to the breast and that the mother does not feel discomfort or pain during sucking. In addition, when mothers have to implement mixed breastfeeding due to different circumstances, the use of nipple shields can help to prevent babies from rejecting the breast because they become more accustomed to bottles. These accessories are made of high quality materials.
