FAQs

What is the MAM Nipple Shield (Size 1) made of?

It is made from ultra-soft, silky silicone, which is also BPA FREE for your baby's safety and comfort.

How do I clean and sterilize the nipple shields?

After each use, rinse with warm water and mild soap. Sterilize daily using the included sterilisable carry case in the microwave, by boiling for 5 minutes, or with a steam sterilizer.

What nipple size is Size 1 suitable for?

Size 1 is ideal for small to medium-sized nipples, providing a comfortable and effective fit.

Can this shield help with painful breastfeeding?

Yes, MAM Nipple Shields are specifically designed to provide relief and support for mothers experiencing pain or soreness during breastfeeding.

Does it come with a storage case?

Yes, it includes a sterilisable carry case for hygienic storage and convenient transport.

Will using a nipple shield affect my milk supply?

The unique MAM shape is designed to promote maximum skin contact and milk supply stimulation. However, if you have concerns about your milk supply, it's best to consult with a lactation consultant.

Troubleshooting

My baby struggles to latch onto the shield.

Ensure the shield is correctly positioned and securely suctioned to your breast. Try different feeding positions. Ensure your baby's mouth opens wide enough to encompass the entire base of the shield. Sometimes, offering a small amount of breast milk on the tip of the shield can encourage latching. Consult a lactation consultant for personalized advice.

The nipple shield keeps slipping off during feeding.

Ensure your breast and the inside of the shield are dry before application; moisture can reduce suction. Verify you are using the correct size; a shield that is too large or too small may not adhere properly. Re-apply the shield, ensuring your nipple is centered and creates a good vacuum seal.

I feel reduced milk flow or my baby seems to get less milk.

Check the shield's placement to ensure optimal skin contact and nipple stimulation. Ensure your baby has a deep latch, covering the entire shield base to maximize milk transfer. Some mothers find gently compressing their breast during feeding can help with milk flow. If concerns persist, consult a lactation consultant to assess milk transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Clean & Sterilize: Before first use and after each subsequent use, thoroughly clean and sterilize the nipple shield.
  2. Moisten: Gently moisten the outer rim of the shield with a drop of breastmilk or water.
  3. Position: Invert the shield slightly and center it over your nipple. Unfold the shield over your areola, ensuring your nipple is drawn into the tip of the shield. The shield should create a gentle suction to stay in place.
  4. Latch: Present your breast with the shield to your baby, encouraging a wide mouth opening to latch deeply onto the shield.

Compatibility

  • Size: This product is Size 1, specifically designed for small to medium-sized nipples. Choosing the correct size is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. If you experience discomfort or if your nipple does not comfortably fill the tip of the shield, you may need a different size. MAM offers other sizes, including Medium and Large.
  • Usage: Intended for temporary use to overcome breastfeeding challenges like pain, flat/inverted nipples, or latch difficulties. Consult a lactation consultant for guidance on prolonged use.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, rinse the nipple shield thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. Ensure all milk residue is removed.
  • Sterilization: Sterilize daily. You can use the included sterilisable carry case by following its specific instructions (typically involving water and microwave heating). Alternatively, you can sterilize by boiling the shields in water for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or suitable sterilizing solution.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the nipple shield for any signs of wear, tears, discoloration, or stickiness. Discard and replace immediately if any damage is visible to ensure safety and hygiene.
