Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lucky I bought them! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friend suggested while pregnant to buy these as a 'just in case'. Well, so glad I did because I would have struggled to breastfeed without them. After having problems with latching at the start, my nipples were sore and cracked and using these gave me a chance for them to recover. The pack is convenient to take with me anywhere too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Breastfeeding saver! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my baby was first born, she was in NICU so I was pumping with the hospital pump and my own personal hospital grade pump while trying to establish breastfeeding. This made my nipples incredibly sore. A midwife recommended this nipple shield to me. It is a bit fiddly trying to get the shield on – you need to wet it before turning it inside out and attaching it to the breast. Occasionally I would need to reposition it several times before feeding Bub and sometimes it would not attach it properly. BUT it is the main reason why I was able to continue breastfeeding. Without this nipple shield, I may have given up breastfeeding. Purely for that reason, I would highly recommend this nipple shield if you have sore nipples in the initial days of breastfeeding. We did not experience any nipple confusion from using this nipple shield.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these along my midwives recommendation as my baby was having trouble latching. It still took him a bit to get the hang of the nipple shield but it did help immensely! I love the container it comes with which makes it super easy to throw in the nappy bag or even keep one in the car.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a lot of pain while attempting breastfeeding in my first pregnancy and these were a life saver. Bub attached much easier after using these and it became a lot more comfortable for me. They are soft and flexible and were fitted properly for me by a lactation specialist. Very easy to clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great shields [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product - used it for both my bubs and greatly assisted my breastfeeding journey. Helped bubs to latch on and breastfeed. Easy to use and attach to breast and bub adopted and sucked on the shield instantly. Easy to store with the case and not difficult to clean. Would recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A real help [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These breast shields were such a god send during the really difficult nursing of my first baby. My nipples were damaged to an extent that i would bleed badly and advised not to breastfeed. These allowed me to continue feeding while my nipples healed. It didn't hurt to feed with these on at all, even when my nipples hadn't yet completely healed. They were comfortable to use, lightweight and soft against the skin. Easy to clean. convenient to take with you in the nappy bag.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lifesaver [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The medela nipple shield was a lifesaver early on in my breastfeeding journey. My baby didn’t want to latch properly but we introduced a shield and she got it. At about 3 months we weaned her off the shield and this was a stressful time, but we got there. The nipple shield allowed me to give breastmilk to my baby girl easily in those early stages.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product if used correctly [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These nipple shields are wonderful if you are experiencing nipple grazing/ tenderness. They’re very sleek and minimal, and come with a cute container. I unfortunately had a bad experience with them because I bought them without reading too much about so didn’t know that I had to have a correct size or that there was a special technique to get them on- my milk then dried up because I used them incorrectly and didn’t realise! I have plenty of friends who highly recommend it. Definitely get sized properly and get a midwife/ lactation consultant to show you how to put it on- it matters! I don’t really have a need for them anymore since my nipples hardened over time

Rated 4 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these whilst my daughter was under bili lights in the special care nursery to help her latch and make her feeds more efficient. As a small baby she had difficulties latching when my milk was coming in, but the Medela nipple shields helped immensely! I've had no negative impacts on supply and as a nice adjunct haven't had to deal with cracked nipples. Definitely an option worth exploring for those with boob to baby size mismatches!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given these shields from the lactation consultant and without them my bub wouldn't latch. After a little bit of use they have caused a bit of rubbing on the nipple. They have really helped with my flat nipples and to teach bub how to latch.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A necessity for me [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The medela nipple shields have been extremely helpful for me and my bub. He started using them when he was a premmie bub to help draw the milk out. and we have continued to use one. It hasn't affected supply. The only downside is I have to hold them on otherwise the sides peel off but I'm now used to doing that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nipple shield [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was recommended to purchase a size up which fit me well as your nipples tend to enlarge during feeding but I found it to be too big for bub and he struggled to feed with the shield. It did protect my sore nipples though and definitely slowed the flow of milk.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very thin [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had to use a nipple shield a handful of times while feeding my two children, but ended up being given a few different brands to try. I found the Medela nipple shields to be super thin and flexible, which made them a bit easier to get on correctly. It also felt a bit softer for baby's mouth compared to a few other brands. Easy to clean and the storage container is very handy to throw in the nappy bag.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Really helpful at the beginning of Breastfeeding [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given couple of Medela shields at hospital when my son was born. We were having a bit of difficulties with breastfeed in the firsts days. These shields were my saviours in the early stages of breastfeeding. My son could feed better, more efficiently and it was less painful for me. I didn't need to use them for long as we got better at breastfeeding over the days but definitely a great helper for the early phase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product for alleviating sore nipples [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only used these with one of my children when I was having feeding problems and to be honest, they didn't really help. However, I think that was due to the nature of the problem and not necessarily the product. The product takes some practice to position and use right, but becomes easier once you know what you're doing. It takes baby a while to work out how to use them as well. These are particularly useful if you have sore, cracked nipples.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Helped with breastfeeding [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this shield at the hospital after suffering from terribly sore and cracked nipples early on. Using the shield helped me to continue to breastfeed as well as allowing my nipples time to heal. The shield also helped with a flat nipple issue. It is great that these are available in various sizes to suit all nipple sizes, is thin & easy to keep clean.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good nipple shield [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these nipples shields for both my breastfeeding journeys with boys, I struggled with latching them both and this was recommended by my midwife. I used it for a while I liked that it helped with latching at times but it also would pop off sometimes or was hard to put on. It definitely helped more with my second son than with my first. It continued my journey for a little while until I had to give up due to my milk supply. Pretty good product but does have its weaknesses.
Date published: 2024-04-03
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Tried but didn’t like [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried this with the recommendation from our lactation consultant as Bub wasn’t able to latch. Unfortunately, these didn’t work and my Bub hated the texture in her mouth. It didn’t fit properly even after being shown how to put it on and the milk was pooling in the shield itself. They were quite expensive so was disappointed I wasn’t able to use them as much asI’d like. Thankfully Bub is able to latch now.
Date published: 2023-11-07
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Hit and miss at times [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was recommended these nipple shields when I had cracked nipples as a result of breastfeeding. Bub was having issues latching and the midwife suggested these. Whilst they did relieve the latching pain, I found them to pinch at times and bub struggled to get milk after the initial letdown. They had their pros and cons but in the end I fed without them.
Date published: 2023-06-26
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Tried but Bub didn’t like it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I had really sore nipples the child health nurse gifted me a pair of these nipple shields. I tried them and they helped with the pain, but I found that Bub was struggling to get milk when I used them. When I stoped he was able to get a better latch and I haven’t had to use them since.
Date published: 2023-05-03
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Thoughtful gift [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These nipple shields were a gift from a friend who had a baby 4 months earlier than me and had tried so many because her baby wouldn’t latch. These worked for her and she got a pack for me when I told her about sore nips. I tried them for a few days and it definitely helped but my baby did not like the feel of silicone although it’s very thin, he would just refuse to feed, also I feel he wasn’t getting enough milk through the shield and would thus get frustrated. I then used these once in a while when nipples were too sore but not for long

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these as I was recommended this brand and one other in my antenatal classes. I don’t have an issue with the quality and many of my mum friends use them but I personally couldn’t get bub to use them very often. I’m sure if my nipples were sore enough in newborn days we would have made it work. Make sure you buy the right size! These were a bit small for me
Date published: 2021-12-03
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not working [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got given a few of these from my hospital visit. They said that it would work with practise and if your baby is used to the bottle already. For me it didn't help as my baby could not draw out the nipple when using it. It does prevent discomfort as a barrier.
Date published: 2021-06-08
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Will work for some [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first 2 weeks of breastfeeding were the most painful so I got these shields. I was also using lanisoh and the shields would slide a bit because of it. I found that it was a bit hard to clean the ointment off the shields afterwards. I may have got the wrong size as there was a bit of space between nipple and shield so I wasn't confident using them while feeding. The case that comes with it is very handy.
Date published: 2020-08-11
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hospital supplied me with these when that awful feeding pain kicked in to relieve the pain and make feeding more comfortable: I was always skeptical ical of these because I worried baby would prefer this to my actual nipple. This was never the case but it was a lot of extra effort putting them on. I preferred just to stick through the pain and feed bub quickly. Love that it’s soft bpa free plastic though
Date published: 2020-01-13
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Helped my nipples [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shields helped my nipples heaps when they were badly cracked. I got to a stage where I could only feed using these as it was too painful to feed without them and they stopped the bleeding. Bub latched well at first with them but started fussing after a couple of days.
Date published: 2019-04-23
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Didn't help me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had very cracked sore nipples when I first began breastfeeding so I got some of these to help ease the pain. Unfortunately they weren't very helpful for me. Even the smallest size was too big as I have quite small nipples and when baby was sucking the milk would just pool behind them or they would come off
Date published: 2017-10-09
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not my favourite [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these nipple shields as it was The only way I could get Bub to latch. After using a different brand I tried these ones and they just didn’t feel as comfortable or had the same a latch for Bub. I did like how they are bent at the top so that the silicone isn’t in bubs nose and I liked the packaging to store them in.
Date published: 2022-05-21
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not for me [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried these in my first two weeks of breastfeeding, I was struggling for me it was so painful, I tried these and although they helped! They were just so awkward for me to use and Bub would only feed for a few seconds and then would come off, I ended up not using them and after two weeks my boobs/ nipples had adjusted to feeding
Date published: 2022-03-31
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Didn't work for us [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went to a private lactation, because I had a painful nipple, and she suggested me to use a Medela nipple shield when I breastfed my bub, unfortunately, it didn't work for us, my nipple was more painful than before, and my bub didn't want to suck with it. This shield is thin, soft, has a great quality, and comes with a case.
