MAM nipple shields have a very thin natural SkinSoft silicone surface which fits perfectly on mother's breast and allows for maximum skin contact between mom and baby during breastfeeding. The textured surface is especially gentle on baby's skin and allows air to flow between baby and the nipple shield. Nipple shields should always be used under the care of a lactation consultant or a medical professional that specializes in breastfeeding. Parenting is hard. We make stuff to make it easier. MAM knows that being a parent is not always easy, so we make products that are smart and simple to use. For over 40 years we've been obsessed with making innovative pacifiers, bottles, cups, teethers, and toothbrushes, providing babies with optimal care at all stages.

We’ve used four different brands of nipple shield in our breastfeeding journey. My son has a poor latch and spent the first 8 weeks of his life in the NICU, so we mostly bottlefeed but I wanted to have that bonding time of breastfeeding at least a couple times a day.In case there are others like me that are sitting through the options and trying to figure out what to use, I thought I’d leave this comparison review on all four listings. I hope it helps!So in order from best to worst nipple shields that we used:1- MAM (5 stars) We use MAM bottles, and this is really an easy transition for the kiddo. It stays on remarkably well, which is very important when the baby likes to grab it! Only downside is the sizes available — 17mm and 23mm. I’m a solid size 20. We use the 17 and it works fine, just a bit snug for me and a bit more difficult to put on. But the most important thing to me is that my son latches easily and it stays put, so this is the clear winner for me!2- Lansinoh (4 stars). The Lansinoh nipple shields are actually quite different from the other three we tried. They’re thicker for one, which does not feel great on the breast. I do love that they have a shallower nipple, so my nipple fills it almost entirely. My son latches very well to it, but because of the thicker base, it’s easier for him to pull off than the MAM shields (but does not fall off on its own like the Medela below). Still a great nipple shield that we continue to use!3- Medela (3 stars) This was the first shield that we tried together, in the NICU at the recommendation of one of the nurses. It works fine for us. I do like the thinness of this nipple shield; it feels the most natural of the four shields that we used. There’s really only one reason it’s not our favorite: the nipple sticks really far out so my nipple only fills it less than halfway when we’re taking a breather. That means it’s very easy for my son to pull off, and sometimes it even just falls off. Having to reattach it is frustrating for both of us!4- Purifyou (1 star) We bought this nipple shield at the same time as we got the MAM and Lansinoh ones so that we could try a few different brands. We couldn’t get it to stay put at all! Even though it’s supposedly the same size as the Medela and Lansinoh ones that we use successfully, it is way too big for my nipple and falls off constantly. My son had a harder time latching using this shield than he does without a shield.

These just saved my breastfeeding journey! I have a very strong let down and oversupply, and it was causing my baby to gag and choke. It was getting to the point that my 7 week old would pull away and scream every time I tried to feed her. I was having to pump and feed bottles for the most part. We have tried other types of nipple shields but she was still having issues and I was irritated with them constantly falling off.These nipple shields are SO much better than the others we have tried. They actually stay on, and function much more like a real nipple. The texture is nice for her (rougher on the nipple part and bumps on the wings) and she can latch well. The slit style openings are preventing the spray to her throat, and the collapsibility means that she can control the flow much better.We have used these multiple times today and each time has been a success! I just purchased two more sets so that we don’t ever have to go without.

I wanted to continue nursing my toddler and breastfeed my newborn son as well. I knew I could do it because I’d successfully breastfed two children. But when my youngest son was born, he struggled a bit with latching correctly and going back and forth between him and my toddler tore my nipples up. I had open wounds that made me cringe everytime I had to feed them. And I had a stinging pain everytime I folding my nursing bra back up (because my wound would fold as well). I almost gave up. But someone told me to try a shield. I chose this brand because of the reviews, shape and pliability. I didn’t want anything hard or cold, so these were perfect. I felt relief within 48 hours as they allowed me to heal. It was immediately easier to breastfeed. They weren’t too obvious under my nursing bra if I wore a hoodie or something bulky. They are easy to clean and also have breathable holes. I’ve heard of some women feeding with them on but I haven’t tried that. I recommend any woman looking for their last resort before giving up to try these first. I am now successfully feeding both children and haven’t had to use them again since they helped heal me up. But I keep them around just in case.

I was using the Medela nipple shields and saw a few people recommending these ones over Medela so wanted to try them out. The material is not as thin as the Medela ones, though their butterfly shape means they do stay on the breast a bit better. It felt like a bit too much material for me all around. I personally prefer the Medela shields and will go back to those, but I think they both work much the same.

Tried them but baby never got the hang of breastfeeding. Like the little carry case and the fact that you can fill with water and microwave to easily/quickly sterilize.

Pros:They stick (unlike other brand, Medelda) even with grabby hands from babyEasy to cleanBetter milk flowCalmer babyCon:Have not found anyI was having a lot of latching problems with my newborn. She would get upset and frustrated when trying to latch. I tried a different nipple shield (Medelda) prior to this one, and this one takes the cake. My baby would easily knock off the Medelda with one swipe of her hand. This one, unless there is alot of breast milk getting under the shield, you have to peel it off. I've been able to go from part time breast/pump-bottle feeding to exclusively breast feeding. They actually stick even when baby is throwing her hands and head around to try to get a latch. My baby has been able to latch easier with less assistance, and she starts to suckle right away.If I had known this product was way better than the other brands, I would have just gone with this one over the other (Medelda)

Love this nipple shield! Much better than Medela. Kido was lip tied and tongue tied. Made feeding excruciating. Would have quit without it.

Helped baby latch. Comfy and sticks on breast. Also got the madela shields I find these ones are better but are much more expensive. Recommend for latching issues.

Mi bebé de 20 dÃas duró 40 minutos pegada con el protector en el primer uso.Antes no pasábamos de 3 minutos 😩 era un martirio y ya sabÃa que tenÃa que dejar listo un biberón porque se desesperaba mucho. Mis pezones no son totalmente planos, pero ella no se acomodaba y por la edad y porque fue prematura, es flojita para succionar ðŸ˜. Pero sin duda estos protectores son muy prometedores.Ya les contaré como vamos.

Son la mejor opción para la lactancia. Pero por un precio mucho menor encuentras unas similares en LIVERPOOL

When adjusting to breastfeeding, it’s so helpful for the tenderness and pain. But what I found it so so important for was my baby who struggled to latch. I’ve never had problems getting one of my little ones to latch like I did with my youngest. One night, after 3 hours of trying and trying to get a latch, and soothing my tired, hungry baby I tried these out of desperation just to help with the soreness. He latched instantly onto the taller, rubber nipple and has perfectly ever since! I’m starting to wean off it now as he’s older and so far all is going great.Quality wise, it’s exceptional - very very durable and well-made. Very easy to use. Soft and textured to feel realistic.Heartily, heartily recommend these!Update: I have used these to nurse twins anywhere from 6-8 times everyday for 4 months, and been scrubbing them with soap and hot water every night. Still absolutely no signs of breakage and tearing. They’re still in great condition.
