FAQs
What are the Silicone Nipple Shields and when should I use them?
The New Beginnings Silicone Nipple Shields are ultra-thin, food-grade silicone covers designed to fit over the nipple and areola. They assist when you have latch-on issues (such as flat or inverted nipples), or when your nipples are sore or cracked and need protection during breastfeeding.
How do I use the New Beginnings Silicone Nipple Shields properly?
To use them: first sterilise the shield according to instructions. Place the shield over your nipple so that your baby latches onto it rather than directly on the nipple. You might express a little milk onto the shield first to help with latch-on. Make sure the shield fits snugly and is comfortable.
What are the benefits of using these nipple shields compared with not using one?
Benefits include: helping babies who struggle to latch (flat or inverted nipples), protecting damaged nipples from further irritation, and enabling you to continue breastfeeding during challenging times. They are made of 100% food-grade silicone, are ultra-thin and flexible for comfort.
How does using a nipple shield fit into a broader breast-care strategy while breastfeeding?
Using a nipple shield like the one from New Beginnings can be part of a larger plan to support nipple health and successful breastfeeding. Protecting and supporting your nipples helps reduce pain, encourage a better latch, and ensure your baby receives adequate milk.

Are there any risks or things I should watch when using nipple shields?
Yes — because a shield can decrease the amount of milk your baby receives if latch or flow isn’t optimal, it should be used short-term, under guidance from a lactation consultant. You should also monitor the baby’s weight gain and diaper output. Proper sizing and use are key.
