Philips Avent Nipple Shield Ultra-Thin Butterfly Design for Comfortable Nursing

The Philips Avent Nipple Shield Ultra-Thin Butterfly is a nursing accessory designed to support comfortable breastfeeding and maintain skin-to-skin bonding, even when latch or nipple issues arise.

• Ultra-thin butterfly design: Keeps the nipple in the center while the baby latches, preserving intimate skin contact and bonding during feeds.
• Two small shields included: Small size, 15 mm diameter, with two shields per pack for quick back-up use during daily feeding.
• Latch support: Helps babies with early latch-on challenges and assists with maintaining a protruded position during pauses in feeding.
• Comfort for sore nipples: Shield acts as a gentle barrier to reduce rubbing and stretching, promoting more comfortable feeding sessions.
• Three-flow holes: Three holes at the shield tip help regulate milk flow, letting baby feed at a comfortable pace even with varing let-down.
• Skin contact and scent transmission: Designed to maximize contact at the breast and allow the baby to smell mom’s scent for reassurance during feeding.
• Care and cleaning: Simple cleaning in under 10 minutes; sanitize by boiling or use the hygienic carrying case for microwave sterilization (three minutes at 750–1000W).

The shield is designed to fit mothers and babies with latch-on challenges, nipple issues, or sore nipples. It helps protect sensitive skin while supporting breastfeeding, and its compact shape supports babies who need a little extra help to latch. Use is versatile for guidance on fit: small shields fit nipple diameters around 12–15 mm, with two shields included in this pack; the sizing concept is designed to ensure a comfortable, snug fit so the baby can latch effectively while you continue nursing with less irritation. With regular cleaning and proper placement, you can rely on this shield to support gentle, ongoing breastfeeding sessions.
