Soft Silicone Construction: Fabricated from ultra-soft, flexible liquid silicone to offer comfort for the mother and a gentle feel for the baby.

Wide Coverage Area: Sized for a 13-16mm nipple diameter, it provides ample coverage to properly cover the nipple.
Facilitates Easy Latching: Aids babies who may have difficulty latching directly onto the breast, helping to make the feeding process smoother.
Q: When is it appropriate to use a nipple shield?
A: A nipple shield can be used to help with breastfeeding challenges such as latching difficulties, or for mothers experiencing sore or cracked nipples. It is designed to provide a firmer surface for the baby to latch onto.
Q: How do I select the correct size?
A: This particular shield is designed for a nipple diameter of 13-16mm. For a proper fit, you should measure the diameter of your nipple at the base. The shield should fit comfortably without pinching. It is often recommended to consult a lactation specialist to ensure you have the correct size.
Q: What is the Vega Nipple Shield made of?
A: The Vega Baby & Mom Nipple Shield is made of ultra-soft silicone, which is flexible and intended to be comfortable for both mother and baby.
Q: How should I clean the nipple shield?

Q: Can using a nipple shield affect my baby or milk supply?
A: While a nipple shield can be a helpful tool, it's typically intended for short-term use. Sometimes, its use can lead to inadequate milk transfer, which might affect a baby's weight gain or the mother's milk supply. It is advisable to work with a healthcare professional or lactation consultant to monitor feeding and for guidance on weaning off the shield.
