Breastfeeding is a naturally beautiful experience and has a lot of health benefits for your baby. It is a fascinating experience altogether when the baby reaches out to their mother’s breast and breastfeeds with utmost satisfaction and contentment. However, sometimes sore or cracked nipples, can cause discomfort to mothers and break the cycle of breastfeeding. With the advancement in technology, many products help breastfeeding mothers nurse their babies better without any discomfort. Vega Baby & Mom Nipple Shield is one such thoughtfully crafted product that provides relief to mothers with sore, cracked nipples and helps them breastfeed with ease.
What is a Nipple Shield
A Nipple Shield is a thin protective cover made of soft and flexible silicone that can be placed over the nipple of breastfeeding mothers. It is designed to help mothers who want their babies to be fed at all times. It has holes on the tips that allow easy milk flow for a comfortable breastfeeding session. The silicone nipple shield acts as a barrier between the mother's nipple and the baby’s mouth, minimizes discomfort during breastfeeding, and helps mothers continue breastfeeding with ease.
When to Use a Nipple Shield –
Nipple Shield can be used
- When newborn babies have trouble latching onto their mother’s breast.
- When the mothers have flat or inverted nipples.
