Nipple Protectors

The first days of breastfeeding are sometimes accompanied by unexpected challenges for new mothers. Dealing with pain during suction or noticing that baby cannot latch correctly can generate stress and apprehension. These temporary sensitivities, often linked to flat or inverted nipples or simple skin discomfort due to friction, should not signal the end of your beautiful breastfeeding journey. There are gentle and non-invasive solutions to continue breastfeeding despite the pain and rediscover peaceful moments of sharing with your child.

The nipple shield collection selected by Wlidaty includes essential accessories to support mothers seeking absolute comfort. Designed to protect the breast during feeding, these thin transparent membranes act like a protective second skin. By choosing our nipple shields, you provide your infant with ideal support to facilitate latching, while preserving your own well-being when facing sensitive nipples on a daily basis.

The different types of breast protection

• Extra-thin silicone nipple shields: they offer exceptional flexibility and do not alter the taste or smell of the milk, thus preserving natural sensations for the infant.
• Butterfly-shaped shields: their specific and ergonomic cut allows for maintaining essential skin-to-skin contact between the baby's nose and the mother.
• Multi-size shields: available from small circumference to size M and L shields, they adjust perfectly and custom-fit to all maternal morphologies.
• Models with included sterilization box: extremely practical, these sets allow you to transport and sanitize your hygiene accessories in the blink of an eye, even when on the move.

How to properly choose and use your breastfeeding shields?

Mother's comfort and nutritional efficiency depend directly on the proper use of these flexible accessories.

• Take the time to measure the base of your nipple to select a suitable diameter; a shield that is too large or too small could hinder the flow of milk.
• Before application, very lightly moisten the inner edges of the accessory with a little water or breast milk to optimize its adherence to the areola.
• Make sure to push the central part outwards before placing it, to help baby suckle well without swallowing unnecessary air.
• Thoroughly clean your breastfeeding nipple shields after each use with hot soapy water to guarantee impeccable hygiene.

What are nipple shields used for?

These thin protective layers are designed to cover the areola during infant feedings. They primarily serve as a physical barrier to limit direct friction, thus helping the mother overcome painful nipples during breastfeeding while accurately guiding the child's mouth.

How to choose the size of your breastfeeding shields?

The ideal size corresponds to the diameter of your nipple after being stimulated, and not to the overall size of your breast. The central silicone tip must be wide enough for the skin to stretch naturally without rubbing against the internal walls.

How to properly position a silicone shield?

Gently stretch the wings of the protection outwards, place the center precisely on your nipple, then release the edges onto the areola to create a light suction effect. If you are using butterfly nipple shields, always point the notched part upwards so that the baby's nose touches your skin.

Can these accessories be used long-term?

The use of these aids is generally recommended as a transitional solution to get through a difficult stage or relieve breastfeeding discomfort. As soon as the sensitivity fades or the newborn's suction improves, it is advisable to gradually reaccustom them to direct latching.
