How to choose the correct size?

Place the different punched rings over your nipple and check which size you need.
• The size of the nipple shield depends on the mamilla and not on the areola.  
• Take the measurement in a relaxed atmosphere.
If the nipple has about 2 mm of leeway, you have found the nipple shield with the correct fit.
• If you are not sure, ask your lactation consultant for support.

 

Why mamivac® nipple shields?

Many mothers use conventional round shaped nipple shields when having sensitive and sore nipples. These should be used for a short time only, because they have influence on the natural way of breastfeeding. The round shape covers mum’s skin, and it may happen that the baby refuses to suck when mum is trying to breastfeed again without a nipple shield. This is because the baby does not identify its mother due to the irritation by the nipple shield. The special shape of mamivac® nipple shields avoids this by reason of not interrupting the contact between mother and baby. Therefore the baby reminds the natural smell of its mother.

Application
Clean your hands before using mamivac® nipple shields. A short massage has the effect that nipples stand upright and makes the use of mamivac® nipple shields much easier. Turn the soft edges up and press the mamivac® nipple shield as close as possible to your nipple. Press the soft edges afterwards to your skin. Wetting the mamivac® nipple shield supports the attachment to your skin. Make sure to place the mamivac® nipple shield with the flat side up that your baby’s nose has direct contact to your skin while breastfeeding. Then the baby identifies your smell and feels safe. Do not use Vaseline or other cremes. For further information regarding the use please ask your lactation consultant or midwife. Prior to using the nipple shields, check them for cracks and proper functionality.
