Warnings & Storage

Nipple shields should generally be used under the guidance of a midwife, health visitor or lactation consultant, and are not intended for long-term use. Avoid using in the first week after birth unless specifically advised by a breastfeeding professional, as this may affect milk supply. Wash and air-dry between uses and store in the supplied carry case.
