Mamivac Cherry Nipple Shield
The Mamivac Cherry Nipple Shield is a distinct design created to help mothers and babies overcome various breastfeeding difficulties, particularly those related to latch and oral function.
Key Features and Benefits
- Shape: Unlike the more tapered conical shields, the Cherry-shaped design has a rounded bulb at the tip. This shape is often favored by lactation consultants.
- Specialized Use: This particular shape is frequently recommended for babies who have:
- Oral dysfunction or disorganized sucking patterns.
- Tethered oral tissues (tongue-tie, lip-tie).
- Low muscle tone.
- Material and Comfort: It is made from thin, durable, hypoallergenic, and tasteless silicone. The unique shape allows the baby to directly perceive the mother's warmth and smell, avoiding the "nipple confusion" sometimes associated with traditional shields.
- Sizing: The Cherry shields are available in several sizes, which differ slightly from the Conical sizes:
- Small (S): 18mm
- Medium (M): 22mm (often slightly larger than the conical medium)
- Large (L): 28mm
- Packaging: Non-sterile retail packages typically include two (2) nipple shields and a plastic carry case.
Important Note:
Nipple shields should only be used temporarily and in consultation with a lactation consultant or healthcare professional to ensure proper sizing and to create a plan for weaning off the shield when appropriate.
