haakaa Nippleshield Silicone Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding with Carry Case Ultra-Thin Super-Soft 18mm 2pk

I am 1 week postpartum and these puppies worked wonders this first week of breastfeeding. My nipples were really raw and getting torn apart since my babe had a fairly shallow latch. I got these the second day in desperation. I needed relief. I tried a few other ones but these were the best fit for me and my baby! They helped take the edge off the pain and today, after 5 days of using, I was able to latch baby on without them. They still allowed my nipples to get accustomed to feeding and build the calluses needed and now I can go without the shield and it doesn’t hurt anymore! My plan for the next day or so is to alternate feedings. One with the shields and one without just to get my nipples used to not having the barrier! It took a couple of tries to get baby to latch without it, as I imagine the feeling of it is different, but eventually she took the raw boob and was content. Read more

So thankful for this product! I have a super fast let down and every time I breastfed, my baby would choke on my milk and lose his breath and gasp for air causing him to swallow more air every time. Which then caused gas and more reflux problems. The first couple times I tried it. It does hurt the nipple a little bit but eventually you and the baby get used to it and it gets better. Read more

I have tried multiple brands, lansinhoh, momcozzy, medela, mom, so far haaka is the best one by fit, comfort, stickiness. my baby likes and it doesn’t hurt me and it sticks well on the breast. The best thing is that it comes in my size, it is hard to find shield this small. It is soft and makes it feel more natural compared to others. I liked medela as well, the problem is they do not have smaller than 20 mm flanges. Hope it was helpful Read more

Keeps falling off no matter what I do. It’s soft very thin fits okay but wish they had bigger and seems like it would last long Read more

This is my first newborn , and I had the goal to exclysively feed our daughter breastmilk . At first I wanted to feed her on demand and switch to pumping , but getting her to latch was difficult and our midwife could only help so much. When our midwife was here , she'd help baby with feedings but as soon as she left it would become difficult again . Then she started not latching at all after 5 days , so I decided to purchase the spectra s2 pump parts & exclusively pump . I started missing the feeling of breastfeeding, it feels so personal and I enjoy the motherhood experience of being able to breastfeed so I purchased the nipple sheilds in hopes of getting her to latch on my breast again . I am SO grateful I ignored the negative reviews and purchased this anyways. I set my expectations low but stayed hopeful , knowing my baby has been drinking breast milk from bottles for 2 full weeks at this point . Of course I washed and sterilized as soon as I got them and waited overnight for them to dry , I was nervous to try it as she would get beyond frustrated when she couldn't latch on making her so fussy and harder to calm down . A day of having them I still hadn't used them , but today I was in the comfort of my own home and she had already eaten 5 ounces of breastmilk I had in the fridge in one hour , so I decided to try latching . Low and behold SHE LATCHED IN SECONDS !!!! There was NO fuss , NO delay , NO frustration . I have never written a review but the ease of our breastfeed today was such a blessing & I hadn't seen a review like mine where a mother was trying to breastfeed after weeks of bottle feeding . I hope this can help any mother in a similar situation . Of course every one is different , but I will say this was the best purchase for my baby . I'm so beyond thankful my baby gets to have jars and jars of breastmilk as well as feed on demand with ease Read more

Low cost solution that resolved my infant’s nursing strike! They do peel back a bit once the baby is latched, but they totally did the job and would buy again in a heartbeat. Read more

This has saved my breastfeeding journey so far. My child has a small mouth and difficulty latching consistently so we’ve been using these. This shape worked best for me compared to other brands that caused pain - this doesn’t! Read more

I had to use a nipple shield for the first 2-3 weeks with my baby and I hated these. First off, they’re kinda square? Which I thought was so odd. Secondly, they’re so thick and do not stay applied to the breast well. I much prefer the madela ones. Read more
