When to use hydrogel pads:

Although new mothers are often told that breastfeeding shouldn't hurt, in reality it can take some time for your nipples to get used to the frequency and duration of your newborn's nursing sessions. This, combined with all the hormonal changes happening in your body in the days right after birth, means you may be left with sensitive or sore nipples. Hydrogel pads can help by providing immediate, soothing, and cooling relief from nipple pain. They can also prevent your nipples from rubbing against clothing and support the healing process if your skin is damaged.

Caring for cracked nipples:

Remember that very sore or cracked nipples can be a sign that there is a problem with the way your baby is latching on to your breast during a feeding session, so it's a good idea to get evaluated by a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist. If you notice that your nipples bleed when you breastfeed, if you feel a burning sensation, or if your nipples are taking a long time to heal, it is important to seek advice from a lactation consultant or health care professional, as you may have a breast infection or other condition that needs treatment.

In addition to soothing dry or sore nipples during breastfeeding, Purelan- can be used to moisturize a variety of dry skin areas, such as chapped lips, dry hands and cuticles, cracked elbows and heels.

Purelan- can also be used on babies and children - to protect their skin during cold weather and treat dryness whenever necessary.

Purelan- is available in 37g tubes - ready to use whenever needed throughout the day.

When to use silicone nipples:

Your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist can advise you on whether or not nipple shields are appropriate for you and can also help you with your ongoing breastfeeding needs.

How to use silicone nipples:

After washing your hands with drinking water and drying them thoroughly, grasp the wings of the Contact- silicone nipple to place it in place. Moistening the silicone nipple with drinking water will help it to adhere. See Contact- Silicone Nipple Instructions for full details on how to insert them. The silicone nipple should fit snugly over the nipple without squeezing. Medela silicone nipple shields come in three sizes, so you can find the best fit for your nipple type. Our handy size guide has more details. Remember that you need to clean them after each use and disinfect them once a day. It is often easier to use a microwave sterilization bag. See instructions for cleaning and disinfection details. Contact- silicone nipple shields come in a handy carrying case, so you can keep them safe between uses.

Silicone Nipples for Sore Nipples:

Sore or cracked nipples can have a number of causes, so it's important to know the underlying cause before deciding what to do about it. For example, if you have sore nipples you may want to try hydrogel pads or nipple shields first, as well as seek out more breastfeeding support. If this does not improve the situation, Contact- silicone nipple shields can protect your nipples while still allowing breastfeeding. Made from ultra-thin, soft silicone, they're gentle on even sore, dry, or chapped skin.

Silicone nipples for flat or inverted nipples:

If you have flat or inverted nipples, your baby may find it difficult to latch on, especially when he or she is young, but that doesn't mean breastfeeding isn't possible! An inverted or flat nipple may not touch the roof of your baby's mouth during a breastfeeding session, which could mean that his sucking reflex is not activated. Contact- silicone nipple shields can help by increasing your nipple reach. And since they're flavorless, your baby isn't likely to taste anything different when using them.

Helping your baby latch on:

As summarized above, using a silicone nipple shield can provide a larger, firmer target for a baby who is struggling to latch on. Your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist can make sure your baby is latching on well when you use a nipple shield. You also need to monitor your baby's weight gain to ensure that your milk supply meets your baby's needs.1 In general, nipple shields are a short-term solution. Over time, as your baby's sucking becomes stronger and you get used to breastfeeding, you can start to phase out the nipple shields.
