Lansinoh breastfeeding nipple shields 24 mm - Lansinoh KOS-782

Lansinoh breastfeeding nipple shields 24 mm are thin, medical-grade silicone shields designed to support mothers and infants during breastfeeding. The 24 mm diameter fits many small to medium areolas and creates a gentle barrier that helps babies latch, encourages milk flow, and reduces discomfort from sore or flat nipples. These nipple shields are intended for temporary use as an aid to establish or maintain effective breastfeeding while addressing latch difficulties.

Advantages

The Lansinoh nipple shields are made from soft, flexible silicone that closely follows the natural breast shape, allowing skin contact and milk transfer while protecting sore or sensitive nipples. Their thin profile minimizes interference with the baby's ability to stimulate milk let-down, and the smooth surface is easy to cleanse between feedings. Designed for single-pair or repeated short-term use as part of a breastfeeding plan, the shields offer a practical way to continue direct breastfeeding when challenges arise.

Suitable for

• Mothers with flat or inverted nipples needing temporary assistance
• Infants having latch difficulties or shallow latch
• Mothers with sore or cracked nipples requiring a protective barrier during feeding
• Short-term support while transitioning to unassisted breastfeeding

Key specifications

• Material: medical-grade silicone
• Diameter: 24 mm
• Profile: thin, flexible shield designed for close contact
• Intended use: temporary breastfeeding aid to support latch and milk transfer
• Care: washable and suitable for cleaning between uses

How to use

Before use, wash hands and clean the nipple shield according to the manufacturer's cleaning guidance. Position the shield so that the teat opening aligns with the baby's mouth and the flange rests comfortably against the areola. Encourage the baby to latch onto the shield as they would onto the breast; observe feeding to ensure an effective seal and adequate milk transfer. Use the shield as part of a feeding plan discussed with a healthcare professional or lactation consultant, and monitor progress to determine when to reduce dependence on the shield.

Usage recommendations

Use nipple shields temporarily and under the guidance of a lactation specialist when possible. Ensure regular cleaning after each feeding, inspect for wear or damage, and replace if the silicone becomes stretched or shows signs of deterioration. Combine shield use with positioning and latch techniques to support a transition back to direct breastfeeding when appropriate.
