Why use Mamivac nipple shields?

Some mothers use conventional round shaped nipple shields when they 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 not interrupting the contact between mother and baby who remembers the natural smell of its mother.

How to use them?

Clean your breast before using mamivac nipple shields. A short massage has the effect that nipples stand upright and make 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. Then press the soft edges 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 creams. 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.

How to clean them:

Mamivac nipple shields consist of thin, transparent and tasteless silicone. Prior to the first use and before any other use in the future, disinfect the nipple shields by boiling them in water for at least 5 minutes. Clean the nipple shields after each use with washing-up liquid and rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water. With proper use and storage, the mamivac nipple shields have a service life of 2 years.
