Better than Medela and Lansinoh!
Super thin but they stay on!! I got the Medela ones in the hospital and it was helpful for my baby to learn how to latch. I tried the Lansinoh but they were too small and my baby didn't like those. I didn't like how either one didn't stay on very well and it was hard to get my baby to drink and keep these on without them falling on the floor in the middle of the feed. I was looking for a shield that would actually stay on and this was recommended to me so I thought why not give it a shot. This is definitely way better than the medela and lansinoh ones for sure!! And it's the same price too!

The best nipple shield for strong let down!
These just saved my breastfeeding journey! I have a very strong let down and oversupply, and it was causing my baby to gag and choke. It was getting to the point that my 7 week old would pull away and scream every time I tried to feed her. I was having to pump and feed bottles for the most part. We have tried other types of nipple shields but she was still having issues and I was irritated with them constantly falling off. These nipple shields are SO much better than the others we have tried. They actually stay on, and function much more like a real nipple. The texture is nice for her (rougher on the nipple part and bumps on the wings) and she can latch well. The slit style openings are preventing the spray to her throat, and the collapsibility means that she can control the flow much better. We have used these multiple times today and each time has been a success! I just purchased two more sets so that we don’t ever have to go without.

Pain free and easy to use
Really great shields. Provided me with a lot of relief especially because my child had a latching issue and was causing damage to my nipples. They’re thin and easy to wash. Stay in place. Really affordable too and worth it. I also liked the case because it allowed me to store them while not in use and ensured they’d be clean and ready.

Worth every penny
I never write reviews, but this is worth it! My daughter had a tongue tie when she was born, and it was making breastfeeding extremely difficult for both of us. She hated the Medela shield that I got from the hospital and wouldn't latch. She does great with a bottle, so she started to figure things out with a Haakaa shield (that's much more bottle-nipple shaped), but the vent wasn't great on that one and it would suction flat (which pinched me and frustrated her). But this one is amazing and doesn't pinch me, actually gets her to latch, and has made it possible to actually breastfeed now! Don't give up on nursing your baby until you've at least given this a shot. Only thing that is less than ideal is that the oval shape makes it so that you have to pay attention to the direction you put it on so that baby can latch right

Could be great for someone else!
Needed these because my baby wouldn’t latch. They came off a lot but I have issues with my nipples alone. So it might work better for someone that has more erect ones.

Best Nipple Shield
By far the best nipple shield!!!! I’ve tried three different shields before this one, some of them wouldn’t stay in place (medela close contact one was awful) and with others my nipple would get stuck and cause pinching which was super painful. This shield stays in place, baby latches very well, no pinching, and it’s close contact so feels like there isn’t even a shield being used. Highly recommend!

Comparison Review with Lansinoh, Medela and purifyou — MAM wins!
We’ve used four different brands of nipple shield in our breastfeeding journey. My son has a poor latch and spent the first 8 weeks of his life in the NICU, so we mostly bottlefeed but I wanted to have that bonding time of breastfeeding at least a couple times a day. In case there are others like me that are sitting through the options and trying to figure out what to use, I thought I’d leave this comparison review on all four listings. I hope it helps! So in order from best to worst nipple shields that we used: 1- MAM (5 stars) We use MAM bottles, and this is really an easy transition for the kiddo. It stays on remarkably well, which is very important when the baby likes to grab it! Only downside is the sizes available — 17mm and 23mm. I’m a solid size 20. We use the 17 and it works fine, just a bit snug for me and a bit more difficult to put on. But the most important thing to me is that my son latches easily and it stays put, so this is the clear winner for me! 2- Lansinoh (4 stars). The Lansinoh nipple shields are actually quite different from the other three we tried. They’re thicker for one, which does not feel great on the breast. I do love that they have a shallower nipple, so my nipple fills it almost entirely. My son latches very well to it, but because of the thicker base, it’s easier for him to pull off than the MAM shields (but does not fall off on its own like the Medela below). Still a great nipple shield that we continue to use! 3- Medela (3 stars) This was the first shield that we tried together, in the NICU at the recommendation of one of the nurses. It works fine for us. I do like the thinness of this nipple shield; it feels the most natural of the four shields that we used. There’s really only one reason it’s not our favorite: the nipple sticks really far out so my nipple only fills it less than halfway when we’re taking a breather. That means it’s very easy for my son to pull off, and sometimes it even just falls off. Having to reattach it is frustrating for both of us! 4- Purifyou (1 star) We bought this nipple shield at the same time as we got the MAM and Lansinoh ones so that we could try a few different brands. We couldn’t get it to stay put at all! Even though it’s supposedly the same size as the Medela and Lansinoh ones that we use successfully, it is way too big for my nipple and falls off constantly. My son had a harder time latching using this shield than he does without a shield.

caused incredible pain for my nipples
maybe I got the wrong size, but these absolutely pinched my nipples and caused me so much pain. I immediately had to throw them in the trash after attempting to use them several times. I have purchased several different types of nipple shields, and this one seems to be made out of some sort of plastic versus the silicone ones that I’ve used which are much softer on the nipple. They do tend to stay in place which I appreciated about them and was surprised based on the price point but man I cannot get over this pain it has caused.

Don't normally write reviews, but these deserve a review! These shields are the only reason I was able to nurse to my baby. I had a combo of severe damage, overactive let down, poor latch, and oral dysfunction that made it almost impossible to nurse in the beginning but these actually worked! I tried every single brand I could get my hands on, but these were the only ones that worked for us. They actually stay put, don't slide around or fall off easily. Texture of them made it easier for baby to latch and control the flow. Truly the only reason I was able to nurse.

Mi bebé de 20 días duró 40 minutos pegada con el protector en el primer uso. Antes no pasábamos de 3 minutos 😩 era un martirio y ya sabía que tenía que dejar listo un biberón porque se desesperaba mucho. Mis pezones no son totalmente planos, pero ella no se acomodaba y por la edad y porque fue prematura, es flojita para succionar 😁. Pero sin duda estos protectores son muy prometedores. Ya les contaré como vamos.

My baby is now 5 months old. For the past 5 months, we have been on a breastfeeding roller coaster. We saw 4 lactation consultants. Baby girl had posterior tongue tie, high palate and "small mouth". She had a frenectomy and a lot of my pain was resolved, however ... her latch improved only slightly. After the procedure, the LC assessed her latch and said “it’s still not great,” but could not offer any further advice. Baby continued to slip off the breast repeatedly, getting more and more frustrated at the breast... she would cry and flail and scream bloody murder (at times we thought she was reacting to gas, reflux, or whatever else we could come up with... but in hindsight, it was 100% frustration at not being able to adequately extract milk). We resorted to primarily exclusive pumping with some breastfeeding (while using Medela nipple shields) prior to naps (when she wasn't ravenous and sleepy enough not to get impatient). She got a better latch with the Medela shields than bare breast, but still not great at all. She would get frustrated quite a bit, kick and turn her head... then the Medela shield would be slipping all over the place. Beyond frustrating for the both of us. The Medela shields are quite thick and it’s perfect cone shape was too difficult for her to latch onto. The cone of the Medela shield was too hard to chomp down on and there was no “nub” at the end of it to give baby grip and prevent from slipping off. (Natural nipples have this harder “nub” at the tip that I’m talking about). It's been a journey and I'm surprised I haven't given up. I'm so glad I didn't. Baby girl has always liked her MAM soothers. I've tried a million soothers and she can't keep them in her mouth longer than 5 minutes. So I saw these MAM nipple shields online and went on the hunt for a place to buy them in Canada. Couldn't find a single seller... not even on Amazon. I contacted MAM themselves, they responded with "sorry, not available in Canada"... and offered no help. I was pretty bummed out. They sell everything else in Canada, why not their shields? I even gave them my sob story and told them how their soothers was all that my baby could keep in her mouth and that I was certain the shape of their shields would be helpful. OH WELL. ANYWAYS, I ended up buying them from a lovely seller from the UK. Bought a pack of 2 for around $12-15. However, now that Amazon is selling them, I ordered more to have on hand. SO grateful to Amazon for deciding to supply these to Canadians. My baby can finally latch!! She breastfeeds for 30-45 minutes... and she's not getting frustrated and wailing! I can't stress this enough... these MAM shields are amazing. The shape stops my baby from slipping off... the thinness of the silicone allows her to “chomp down” and trigger let down. The shield sticks to my breast SO MUCH better... it has wide wings that allow me to also hold it down when she's resituating without getting my fingers in her way. The tip of the nipple shield gets ever so slightly thicker, creating sort of a "nub" at the tip.. and I honestly find this "nub" helps her to grip the nipple and not slip off like she does with bare breast and the Medela shields. If you are having latch issues, give these a try. I am 20mm in Medela shields and size 2 (23mm) in MAM shields. I hope my review helps at least one other mother with breastfeeding woes. Don't give up just yet! Try these. I'm 5 months in and we're moving into exclusive breastfeeding territory. 👀 Will update if opinion changes, but we've been using these for 2 months and we haven't looked back! 🤞🏼 15/02/21 UPDATE: We’ve made it through an entire year and then some of breastfeeding ... all thanks to these shields!! There was a few months before receiving these shields that I was pretty well exclusively pumping as the frustration experienced with breastfeeding was too much for the both of us. I remember LC’s telling us that “nipple shields are not a long term solution.” They were for us! Without them, we would have had to stop. Seriously consider giving these a try if you’re having latch issues before quitting. I had it in my head that “if breastfeeding wasn’t established and immediately easy from the start... it wasn’t something obtainable for moms and babies.” It turns out that you can establish breastfeed MONTHS after birth! If you’re able to maintain a supply for a few months, breastfeeding can still happen! I will add that, from 5 months on, I exclusively breastfed during the daytime and I gave baby pumped breast milk in a bottle at bedtime (and maybe once through the night if she woke). I preferred giving her pumped milk at bedtime as I found it easier to ensure she was getting enough milk before she fell asleep... and I found it easier to lay her in her crib after a bottle. I would wake up in the morning with her, breastfeed her and then pump afterward. I would breastfeed her 2 more times during the daytime and then pump around supper time and again before bed. In summary, I breastfed 3 times per day and pumped 3 times per day... on average. With this routine, I never had any issues with my supply. Therefore, I can tell you that these nipple shields never made me feel like my supply was being effected. However, pumping along with breastfeeding definitely encouraged my supply and was majorly necessary for those crazy growth spurts. Also, it may be helpful to know, we used the Avent Natural Glass baby bottles. I believe the shape of the Avent bottle nipples helped my baby to be able to switch back and forth between bottle and breastfeeding (with MAM shields) as the Avent nipples shape is more like a natural breast. We had Chicco glass bottle before our Avent ones, and I found she MAY have been starting to develop a nipple preference to those as they were a lot easier for her to extract milk... maybe too easy. ***Side note: There are only 2 sizes to choose from in the MAM nipple shields. You want the shield to be bigger than your actual nipple. Nipple shields are not meant to fit snug, as baby will end up pulling your actual nipple into and through the tiny holes ... YIKES 🤢. You want space between your nipple and the shield as a buffer to prevent chafing and pulling your nipple into the holes (I’m sorry for that image lol). But you also don’t want the shield being so big that your baby can’t grip the shield and your nipple at the same time. Luckily, there’s only 2 sizes to choose from... so you might be out $15 if you choose the wrong size. Also.... “Liquid Premium cooking coconut oil” (bought from Amazon) worked WAY better on my sore nipples than Lanolin. Also, if soreness is bad enough, ask your doctor to prescribe you “Dr Jack Newman’s All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO).” Look on Google to see what I mean. It’s a 3 ingredient ointment. Most pharmacies know what it is, my older doctor had to look it up. There is a steroid in the ointment though, so don’t use it more than prescribed or long term. Long term use of topical steroids can cause “thinning of the skin.”
