Breast Shells for Nursing Moms, Nursing Cups - 2 Pack, Collect Breast Milk and Protect Sore Nipples, Easy to Clean, Soft and Flexible Silicone Material, Reusable

I struggled with breastfeeding last time as my nipples became cracked, peeled and bled. This product along with the Lasinoh cream helps to keep my nipples moist and so even though they are a bit sore I'm able to keep going with the feeding. I'm now 18 days into feeding, doesn't sound like much but I don't think i made it beyond 7 days last time before I had to stop to give my nipples time to heal. Then stopping meant that i got mastitis as my breasts became engorged, so my daughter was formula fed from that point onwards.Also the fact that this product allows you to collect the milk means you can store away a bottle of breast milk for an extra feed rather than just soaking up breast pads and tossing them in the bin. Glad I found it, which was only by accident I was looking for nipple shields when I came across them.

I bough these on a whim as didnt want to express nor lose any more milk than I was and found these were perfect for the time I used them. Wish I knew about them in my previous pregnancies. I did see peoples reviews on the little hole with laying down and found if I turned the cups round a bit I was able to feed laying down without losing any but just be mindful you've moved them as they will leak if you sit straight up without moving them back before taking them off and that's a wet top you don't want. Only wore with a bra/breastfeeding top so don't know how they fit without but it made me feel any better to not keep losing milk from one side whilst feeding (hated wet breast pads and knowing all that milk was going to waste. Now feeding is well established (little lady's about to turn 3 months) and life has gone back to being crazy with 4 children +1 (husband being the 5th ha ha) I don't have time for them but definitely worth the investment in the early days of breastfeeding

Perfectly simple solution for leaky nipples during the day. Like other reviewers, I wish there was a plug or bung for the hole at the top, a few times I have bent over and poured Breast milk over the floor (or baby!)

I bought these as I had really badly damaged nipples and couldn’t express milk. I use these every feed even now... 4 months in! It’s incredible how much milk you can collect after using for the whole day, just by placing them in your bra whilst feeding. I wouldn’t recommend leaving them in if you leaking during the day as if you bent over these will leak out from the little hole at the top. Very good and comfortable design!

Without realising it your other breast often leaks when you feed your baby and this catches the milk which can be 10 or so mls, not to be sniffed at when your milk is only just coming in. They are very easy to use and tip milk into bottles for storage.

Excellent at the beginning, but quickly they became loose and started leaking hence becoming useless.Please note we only washed these by hands.

In theory a great product but they leak if you move quicker than a slow walk and in this hot summer weather the collected milk is unusable as it has soured. Would be improved if there was a cap / slider over the pouring hole

I wish these were around so long ago, does the job wonderfully and nice to feel extra protection !
