Additional Information for Nursing Breast Shell
Nursing breast shells are medical devices used by breastfeeding mothers to help with various breastfeeding challenges. They are typically made of soft, flexible material and are designed to be worn inside a bra. Here are some key features and uses of nursing breast shells:
1. Protection: Nursing breast shells provide a protective barrier between the nipple and clothing, preventing friction and irritation. They can be particularly helpful for women with sore or cracked nipples.
2. Collecting Milk: Some nursing breast shells have a built-in collection reservoir that collects leaking breast milk. This can be useful for mothers who experience excessive milk leakage between feedings.
3. Nipple Correction: Nursing breast shells can also be used to help correct inverted or flat nipples. By gently applying pressure to the areola, they can help draw out the nipple, making it easier for the baby to latch on.
4. Ventilation: Nursing breast shells allow air to circulate around the nipple, promoting healing and preventing moisture buildup, which can lead to infection.
5. Comfort: The soft and flexible material of nursing breast shells provides a cushioning effect, reducing discomfort caused by engorgement or sensitive nipples.
It's important to note that nursing breast shells should not be confused with nipple shields, which are a different breastfeeding aid used for specific breastfeeding challenges. It's always recommended to consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare professional for personalized advice on using nursing breast shells or any other breastfeeding aids.
