Lansinoh Transparent Contact Nipple Shields Size 2 (24mm), 2 Pieces

This is the size 2 shield at 24mm, the larger of the two Lansinoh sizes stocked here. Getting the size right matters more than most people are told. A shield that is too small compresses the nipple and can cause pain and damage, while one that is too large means the baby cannot form a proper seal.

The transparent silicone is thin enough to keep skin contact between you and your baby, which matters for feeding cues and for milk supply. As with any shield, this is best used as a short-term bridge with a midwife or lactation consultant supporting you rather than as a permanent arrangement.

Benefits

• The larger 24mm size, for anyone finding the 20mm too tight
• A shield that is too small causes pain and damage, so sizing is worth getting checked
• Thin transparent silicone keeps skin contact between mother and baby during the feed
• Can keep breastfeeding going through a difficult period rather than stopping
• Intended as a temporary bridge while the underlying problem is addressed

How to Use

• Sterilise before first use and clean after every feed
• Wash your hands, then centre the shield over the nipple
• Check your baby is swallowing during the feed and gaining weight as expected
• Inspect before each use and replace if the silicone is torn, cloudy or sticky
• Work with a midwife or lactation consultant on the fit and on moving away from the shield
• Seek advice promptly if feeding is painful, or if your baby is not gaining weight
