Frequently asked questions

Does this shield help with sensitive nipples?

Yes, the mamivac Nipple Shield is specifically engineered to provide a protective barrier for mothers experiencing sensitivity or soreness, allowing for a more comfortable nursing experience.

Can this help with flat or retracted nipples?

Absolutely. The conical design provides a consistent, shaped structure that makes it much easier for babies to latch effectively, particularly for mothers managing flat or retracted nipples.

Is the material safe for breastfeeding?

The shield is crafted from medical-grade silicone, a safe, flexible, and durable material designed specifically for breastfeeding support.

Does the shield maintain skin-to-skin contact?

Yes, its thin, flexible construction is intentional. It allows the baby to feel your natural warmth and perceive your natural scent, ensuring the special sensory bond between you and your baby remains intact.

How do I keep the shield clean and hygienic?

Maintenance is simple and effective. Because it is made of medical-grade silicone, you can easily sterilize the shield by boiling it in water after each use to ensure it remains hygienic.

Is the silicone durable enough for daily use?

The shield is designed for longevity. It is a reusable aid that withstands regular cleaning and boiling, making it a reliable, long-term addition to your breastfeeding kit.

What is the benefit of the conical shape?

The conical architecture serves two primary functions: 1. It acts as a protective shield for sore tissue. 2. It provides a stable, consistent shape that helps reduce nipple confusion for the infant during latching.

Can I use this during the initial stages of breastfeeding?

Yes, it is ideal for use during the initial stages of breastfeeding when both mother and baby are still learning to latch, or whenever you need extra support during recovery.

Does the shield have proper ventilation?

Yes, the design features small ventilation holes at the apex of the shield, which are specifically included to assist with airflow during feeding sessions.

Is this product precision-engineered?

Yes, the mamivac Nipple Shield is made in Germany, reflecting a high standard of precision-engineered quality designed for professional and functional use.
