Continue your breastfeeding journey without the worry of discomfort or pain! A unique extended teat puts space between your nipple and baby's mouth
Benefits of Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shields
- Soft, safe and easy-care 100% food grade silicone
- Attaches with suction for hands-free feeding
- Round nipple shape is ideal for babies who are bottle, mixed or breast-fed
- Extended teat puts physical space between your nipple and baby's mouth
The Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield is a world-first design made of 100% soft silicone, with an extended teat that puts space between your nipple and your baby’s mouth.
If your little one bites down, pulls away, or if you have inverted or cracked nipples, you will still be able to breastfeed with ease and comfort. The Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield suctions onto your breast, giving you a hands-free breastfeeding experience.
The round base is large and suctions on easily, making it more suited for those who are new to using nipple shields.
We offer two teat shapes: the orthodontic teat and the nipple teat. The orthodontic teat is thumb-shaped to replicate the shape of a mother's nipple during breastfeeding, making it more readily accepted by your baby. The nipple teat replicates the silicone teat of a baby bottle and is better suited to help your baby transition from breast to bottle.
Features
- Patented one-piece design with no joints, cracks or edges for mould or bacteria to harbour.
- Nipple design allows babies to mimic a natural sucking rhythm, making it easier for babies that have difficulty latching.
- Suctions on to all breast shapes, making it easier for new mums to use and enjoy a hands-free breastfeeding experience.
- The anti-slip ridged outer edge make the nipple shield easier to hold while the baby is feeding.
- Variable flow teat allows baby to drink continuously and prevents them from choking if milk flows too fast.
- Space between mum’s nipple and the nipple shield head prevents baby from biting the nipple.
- BPA, PVC and phthalate-free.
- Dishwasher and microwave sterilizer safe.
Includes one shield and a protective case for storage.
Would a Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield suit me?
The Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield can support breastfeeding people with:
- Flat or inverted nipples
- Sore, cracked or bleeding nipples
- Overactive or forceful let-down
- Assisting the transition from breast to bottle
How do I use the Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield?
- Squeeze the chamber and fold back the base of the shield.
- Centre the opening of the shield over your nipple and return the base to its original position.
- Release your grip on the chamber and you will feel light suction.
- You may not get the shield perfectly in place first try, so readjust until the shield is comfortable.
- Introduce your baby to the shield to start feeding. Your breast milk will continue to flow into the extended teat, allowing your baby to feed.
Top Tip: Try expressing a few drops of breast milk into the shield before attaching to promote an easier latch.
How do I clean Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shields?
Wash before and after each use. Although dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water and rinsing and drying thoroughly. Do not use any bleach-based cleaners or tablets to sterilise or clean your Haakaa products. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2-3 minutes.
Caution
Check product condition regularly. Replace if this product shows any signs of damage. Do not store near any sharp objects.

This product is not a toy. Do not use this product for anything other than its intended purpose. Store product in a cool dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Excessive stretching may cause tearing.
This product is designed for mothers who are physically unable to breastfeed due to sore, cracked nipples, and should only be used in the interim before returning to natural breastfeeding once your nipple has healed. If you are able to breastfeed successfully and experience slight discomfort, we suggest using our traditional nipple shields as a protective alternative if your nipples become raw and sore.
