The most important nipple shield breastfeeding techniques to master are positioning and attachment. A good ‘latch on’ will be comfortable for you and allow baby to end the feed contented and with a tummy full of milk. However, nipple shields are not the best solution for every mother and baby. If you’re experiencing difficulty nursing and think a shield could help you, discuss it with your care provider or a professional lactation consultant.My toddler used to refer to nipple shields as “boob hats,” which is a pretty accurate description. Some have a wide “brim,” while others are minimalistic in their design. A thin, flexible shield is helpful for having a more natural breastfeeding experience, and it will make it easier for your baby to transition to the breast when they no longer need the shield. Newborn babies will feed for about twenty to forty minutes until they are about three months of age.

The ultra-thin, soft silicone material of the Philips Avent Nipple Shield is closer to our infant feeding solutions to help seamless transition between breast and bottle feeding when combining both.
