Breast Shell |
Breast shells can be used to protect the engorged or sore nipples during breastfeeding. Shell can also be encouraged to delay the inverted nipple (out). If the shell is ready to be used to help a mother to breastfeed, do it during pregnancy because the skin can increase the loss of breast milk or colostrum. Some studies suggest that breast shells used in the nipples can actually prevent the mother's ability to breastfeed successfully.
It is also used to collect milk when the baby is not over the nipple.
Shields can be mixed with breast shells, but the guards are intended for the artificial feeding, breast shells are worn by pre-or after breastfeeding.
