Pigeon – Nipple Shield Silicone 2Pc

Breastfeeding support for latch challenges and nipple pain

The Pigeon Silicone Nipple Shield 2-Pack, available from Fed is Best, is designed to support mothers experiencing sore nipples, latch difficulties, flat or inverted nipples, or overactive let-down. Made from soft, flexible silicone, this nipple shield helps protect sensitive skin while assisting babies in establishing and maintaining a secure latch.

Breastfeeding can be challenging in the early days. When latch difficulties or nipple pain arise, a nipple shield may provide temporary support while you and your baby learn together. This shield creates a gentle barrier that reduces friction on cracked or tender nipples, allowing feeding to continue more comfortably.

Designed to support natural feeding

The nipple holes are designed to closely mimic the mother’s natural nipple flow. This helps maintain a familiar feeding experience for baby. The shield also includes a cut-out section at the top, allowing direct skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby during feeds.

For mothers with an overactive let-down reflex, the nipple shield may help regulate flow and reduce the risk of choking or gagging. It can also assist babies who are struggling to latch due to flat or inverted nipples.

Soft, flexible medical-grade silicone

Made from soft and flexible silicone rubber, the shield provides a wide contact surface while remaining gentle on delicate skin. The material is thin enough to allow baby to feel warmth and closeness, yet durable enough to offer protection during healing.
