> What is a nipple shield?
Nipple shields are designed to help with a variety of breastfeeding problems, including sore or cracked nipples, flat or inverted nipples, and difficulty latching. Nipple shields work by creating a barrier between the baby's mouth and the nipple, which can help protect the nipple from further damage and make it easier for the baby to latch.
> Should you sterilise a nipple shield before feeding?
Yes, it's recommended to sterilise a nipple shield before using it for feeding. Sterilisation helps to kill any harmful bacteria or germs that may be present on the nipple shield, reducing the risk of infection for both mother and baby. You can sterilise a nipple shield using our Microwave steriliser.
> Weaning off a nipple shield
Weaning off a nipple shield can take time and patience, but it's important to try and wean as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues with milk supply and nipple soreness. Here are some steps that can help with the weaning process:
-
Start by trying to breastfeed without the nipple shield for a few minutes at the beginning or end of a feeding session when your baby is less hungry.
-
Gradually increase the amount of time your baby feeds without the nipple shield.
-
Use breast compressions to encourage your baby to latch on and feed without the nipple shield. Gently compressing the breast can help express milk and make it easier for your baby to latch on.
-
Experiment with different breastfeeding positions to find one that works best without the nipple shield. Some mothers find that the football hold or side-lying position can make it easier for their baby to latch on.
-
Be patient and persistent. It may take several attempts before your baby can feed without the nipple shield.
-
Seek support from a lactation consultant or breastfeeding support group if you're having difficulty weaning off the nipple shield.
Remember that weaning off a nipple shield can be a gradual process, and it's important to be patient and persistent. With time and practice, most babies can learn to breastfeed without the need for a nipple shield.

"Definitely a great drinking cup for daily use. It is compact, lightweight and easy to grip. The bright colours make it more appealing to the little one. I personally found it is easy to take apart and clean. So far we love it!"

I bought it a month ago, seems to work fine. My babies skin is not red anymore. Feels good to use on my baby.

"This bottle is great for my 9 month old. It’s light weight and he is able to independently drink from the bottle. The weighted straw makes it easy for him to drink from all angles."
Phil
"I’m a big fan of the liquid cleanser, so I thought I’d give this baby bottle spray a try. It works really well for quick cleans and wipe-downs. Just like the cleanser, it doesn’t leave any chemical smell, and you don’t have to spend ages wiping to make sure everything’s clean."
Love this teat!!!!
"I bought this tonight for my 5 mo after trying 5 other brands of bottles and at my wits end. The teat was exactly what I was looking for and he didn’t resist it being given as much as he would the others. Cannot wait to try more and hopefully transition!!! Thank you!"

Why Zinc-Free Matters for Newborn Skincare
"Just use zinc cream" is the advice every new parent hears. But newborn skin is thinner, more absorbent and still developing its own barrier. Here's why a heavy paste at every nappy change isn't always the answer, and what to look for instead.
