Exclusively breastfeeding is best for babies. Introducing partial bottle feeding may adversely affect breastfeeding by reducing the supply of breast milk. If you are considering using bottles and teats to offer expressed breast milk (EBM) to your baby or introducing partial bottle feeding, it is important in the first instance, to discuss your plan with the health professional(s) caring for you & your baby.
There are situations when Nipple Shields can be very useful however they should never be the first solution for sore nipples and should always be used with guidance from your Midwife, Breastfeeding Counsellor or IBCLC Lactation Consultant.
Unimom Nipple Shields are made of thin soft silicone that does not interfere with stimulation. These are an effective breastfeeding aid when nipples are flat, sensitive or wounded, for feeding a premature, small or ill infant, or when trying to wean a bottle fed baby back to the breast.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE- These are pre-sterilised for the first use.
- Rub some breast milk on the nipple shield.
- Place the shield on your nipple with the larger curved side facing down toward baby's chin.
- Press it down and smooth the edges with your fingers.
- While the nipple shield is being used exclusively, it is recommended to express once a day.
WHAT SIZE?
You need to consider the size of your baby's mouth and the size of your nipple and modify the size to accommodate your nipple. Guidance from your Lactation Consultant or LMC is recommended.
Unimom has size 15mm and 21mm available
STERILISING:
Wash all with Unimom bottle wash and hot water. Rinse with boiling water and leave to drip dry.
*Do not use microwave steriliser
