Chicco Nipple Shields are designed to assist mothers who experience difficulties during breastfeeding, such as with sore, cracked, or flat nipples. Made from very thin, soft silicone, they offer a protective layer that aims to make nursing sessions more comfortable. The design facilitates continued breastfeeding by helping babies, including premature infants, to latch on correctly. The ergonomic shape allows for skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby, promoting a natural experience.
