Haakaa Breastfeeding Nipple Shield

This product is great I was having trouble getting my baby to latch and stay in the breast for feeding but after purchasing this product it has been 100% better

My daughter spent the first few weeks in SCN and was given bottles because my milk took so long to come in. By the time we got her home my milk had just starting coming in at a good rate but she would scream until red in the face every time I put her near my boobs which made me feel so defeated especially after breastfeeding her sister for 2.5 years with no issues. I was still pumping the whole time and felt like I was doing double the work without the reward of getting to feed her the way I wanted too. I tried everything. Ordinary nipple shields, milk supply lines, finger feeding with syringes to get her use to the slow flow again, different BF positions. LC after LC. Nothing worked so I continued to give her bottles and gave up.
I came across this website and saw this shield and decided to read the reviews, I thought sure one last try, and ordered the round option as it’s the closest to the bottles.
Im so happy to say she took to it straight away, I put it on and she was sucking within a minute I was so happy and shocked! It definitely takes some getting use too but is totally worth it. It’s saved my breastfeeding journey with my daughter.

Finally a nipple shield that works for me and my baby! The shield fits perfectly and suctions onto your nipple so that you don’t have to hold it on whilst feeding with bub moving around or it coming loose from sucking. Bub took too the shield straight away and it has made our lives so much easier. I purchased the orthodontic round nipple shield and the round nipple shield purely because I am also expressing and feeding with a bottle so I need both. Love this!

Iv just had my second daughter a week ago and after the first few days she had destroyed my nipples as she had trouble latching. I was having to pump every 3 hours to feed her until I got this shield.
I have tried a few different brands but was still so painful. This is so easy to use and completely pain free. My daughter latched on straight away and have not had any problems feeding. So thank you 🙏

I have a 4 month old Bub who has never needed a bottle and just didn’t quite understand how to latch onto one. I tried every bottle teat, different caregivers, formula, breast milk, temperatures ect ect and just couldn’t not get Bub to take a bottle. I bought this nipple shield in the hope that it would support my bub to organise his mouth with latching onto a bottle. It took a couple of goes but he finally knows how to latch onto a bottle teat. He still isn’t a fan of the bottle and gets super frustrated but the product supported me how I was expecting which is fantastic. The nipple shield fills up and overflows far quicker than he can suck (I have a VERY fast letdown) so he only lasts a few minutes on the shield before it just starts going everywhere. A small win towards a bottle. 4/5 stars as different flow options would be beneficial for my Bub.

I used these with my last bub and definitely saved my cracked sore nipples. They were tricky to get the hang of but eventually we did ok. Luckily I haven’t had to use these yet with new bub.

I got the orthopaedic teat was easy to attach but somewhat difficult to latch at the perfect angle and took me a moment to figure out what way was the right way up.. but issue is the teat end seems to flatten its self and my nipple gets squished and sore at the end its like even tho it fills up with milk bub doesn't seem to be able to get the milk out of the teat unless I Un suction my nipple from the inside and let air back into it to re-inflate it maybe its cause the hole is on the top of it not at the tip so she just blocks the hole? Or sucks all the air out?.. so just isn't working for us and so desperate for it to work as she has nipple confusion so have ordered the round one hoping the hole is at the tip and she is able to get the milk out .. fingers crossed sucks I had to spend so much on something that isn't working tho 😭

I don’t usually leave reviews but considering how helpful this shield was I feel I need to! I highly recommend the round teat shield if you have a baby that is having trouble latching. I used this shield 6 years ago on and off with my first baby (had to pump for 5 weeks, then baby finally latched but feeding was painful so I would use this shield especially at night because it was much more comfortable feeding with it, I think I used it until he was around 3 months old). With my second baby last year, she didn’t latch for 10 days, then latched on my left nipple but couldn’t latch on my right nipple. So I tried this shield again and she could feed really well on the right side with the shield, I continued to pump and use the shield at times until a friend commented that she seemed to feed really well with the shield, so I started using the shield on the right side exclusively when baby was 2 weeks old but carefully monitored babies weight and wet nappies which were great (continued to gain weight well and have lots of wet nappies) so I continued using this shield on the right side until baby finally latched without it at about 4 months old! Very honestly, I didn’t like having to use the shield because it’s just that extra thing you need to take with you when you leave the house and also it’s just so much nicer breastfeeding without it BUT I was really thankful for the shield because pumping and bottle feeding is so time consuming and just a pain in the butt, being able to just feed baby with the shield instead made life so much easier!

Baby had difficulties latching from birth so Ive had to bottle feed him which led him to a bottle preference. When I tried to transition to the breast he just refused & pushed back every time, it was a screaming ordeal every feed without success, until I came across these shields. I used the round teat one & Baby latched straight away & stayed on each breast for 40mins! love that it suctions well, compared to the many shields I’ve tried, this one actually works! I was so happy I cried happy tears. Thank u for such an affordable & great product! It also arrived very quickly, purchased on Friday & received on Monday. Highly recommend this product!

We had to start bottle feed our baby before leaving the hospital as her weight dropped more than 10% from birth. So even though my milk had came through within the first week, my baby would not take to the breast any more. Each feed was a challenge as she fought it and cried so much it made me feel so defeated. We tried seeing couple of LCs and different nipple shields and they had failed to help. The first time we used the Haakaa shield she latched straight away! She became more comfortable being near me during feeding time. For the first time I was able to just relax a bit during our feeds. Since then we had another GP/LC visit and after adjusting a few things, my baby finally latched on for all her feeds. I would say the Haakaa shield played an integral part to this success.

Love this nipple shield as it helps protect my nipple from cracking and damage. Recommend!

Arrived fast and as described. I bought this while still pregnant as a just incase. I've tried it once or twice and I don't seem to have enough milk yet for it to work. I'm just using the really thin Medela nipple shields instead.

Have not even attempted to use it as I don't see how baby will even get any milk due to the distance of the nipple shield to the actual nipple. Poor baby will be sucking air for sometime.

My baby was having breast refusal and a strong bottle preference. This shield got him back on the boob and was a life saver 🙌

I have very flat nipples which can only be brought out if I pump first. I absolutely ruined my nipples in hospital trying to breastfeed and developed deep nipple trauma. I was crying at every feed and had to fouls top up. I tried nipple shields in the hospital and they did help by they were super thin so damage still occurred to my nipples and the pain was still intense. This shield is a lifesaver! No pain and so easy to use. Bub is doing half hour feeds on both sides when before, I couldn’t last 10 mins

Fits perfectly, bub took too it straight away, so much better than other nipple shields I was using.

👍

It doesn’t suction like they claimed and can’t get any assistance in working out in mine is simply faulty or if it’s my boob

Didn't seem to work for me

Didn't seem to work very well for me.

I’m a mom of three. I tried hard to breastfeed my first two babies but the journey was not successful. I’ve got large nipples and with the baby small mouth they simply couldn’t take it all in for a proper latch. This time I set my mind to pumping but came across the ad for the nipple shield. There was nothing to lose plus the cost is very affordable so I gave it a try. From the first try to latch it worked for us as a magic. We didn’t look back again :) I’m very grateful to the Haakaa team for developing such a wonderful product. It allowed me to experience nursing at least with one of my kidos. Where you’ve been before? :)

Don’t think about it. Just get it.

I exclusively pumped for my son from birth to 6 weeks as i have flat nipples and he couldn’t latch. I stopped at 6 weeks due to the mental load of not having the “bond” with my baby and just being with a machine all day every day. At 4months pp i found this shield online, brought it out of curiosity and my son latched instantly. I then re lactated and now am able to breastfeed my son! We feed to sleep almost every day and it has made my mental health so much better! Wish i found this when i was pregnant to buy beforehand. Midwife’s should definitely recommend this product if you have flat or inverted nipples! The circle one is shaped exactly like a dr browns bottle teat! We now combo feed with dr browns bottles and the sheild.

The shield is made of excellent quality material however the teat is way too big for my six week olds mouth.
