The philips avent nipple shield (21mm size) is a thin, butterfly-shaped piece of silicone worn over the nipple and areola during breastfeeding. It is designed to assist mothers experiencing difficulty with latch-on, flat or inverted nipples, or soreness, by providing a firm target and protecting sensitive skin. Assists latch difficulties: provides a firmer target to help babies latch onto flat, inverted, or sore nipples more easily. Protects sore nipples: acts as a protective barrier over damaged or cracked nipples, allowing the mother to continue breastfeeding while healing. Optimal 21mm size: this specific size offers a precise and secure fit over the nipple, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness. Ultra-thin silicone: made from tasteless, odorless, ultra-fine silicone that allows the baby to still smell and feel the mother’s skin. Butterfly shape: features an ergonomic butterfly shape designed to allow maximum skin contact between the baby and the mother’s breast.
