FAQ

  • A nipple shield is a thin, soft silicone breastfeeding aid that fits over your nipple to help your baby latch more easily. The Cherry Nipple Shield 21 mm creates a gentle surface that babies can latch onto, helping them maintain suction and access milk while reducing discomfort for the parent.

  • This shield may be helpful if your baby is having latch difficulties due to:

    • Flat or inverted nipples

    • Sensitive, sore, or cracked nipples

    • Weak or shallow latch
      It’s also used under the guidance of lactation consultants for temporary support during breastfeeding challenges.

  • When used correctly and temporarily, a nipple shield should not inherently reduce milk supply. However, it’s important that the baby is still effectively removing milk during feeds. Insufficient milk transfer can eventually signal lower production, so monitor feeding cues and weight gain with your healthcare provider.

  • Because the Cherry Nipple Shield is made from thin, tasteless silicone, babies typically experience minimal difference in texture or taste. The goal is to help babies latch comfortably while still sensing warmth and contact from the breast.

  • The 21 mm refers to the inner diameter of the shield opening. It’s generally suitable for parents with small-to-medium nipple diameters. If you’re unsure about sizing, measuring your nipple width (excluding the areola) while not engorged can help you choose the best size. If milk isn’t flowing well or the shield feels too tight or too loose, another size might be more comfortable.

    Booking a lactation consultation will also help ensure you are using the correct size!

  • Yes — many parents use nipple shields to reduce direct friction and pressure on sore, cracked, or sensitive nipples during feeds. Shields provide a protective layer, helping you continue breastfeeding while your nipples heal.

  • Clean the Cherry Nipple Shield before first use and after every feeding. You can wash it with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Sterilize based on your usual breastfeeding accessory routine (e.g., boiling or steam sterilizer) before first use and periodically after.

  • Nipple shields are typically recommended for short-term or transitional use to support breastfeeding while latch issues are resolved. Many lactation consultants recommend strategies to wean off the shield once latch improves to promote direct skin-to-skin contact.

  • Some babies with oral motor challenges may benefit temporarily from a nipple shield to improve latch and milk transfer. However, it’s best to pair its use with guidance from a lactation consultant or pediatric specialist who can assess your baby’s specific needs.

  • Yes — you can use the Cherry Nipple Shield on both breasts during a feeding session. Ensure it’s clean and properly positioned on each side for optimal latch and comfort.

  • When used appropriately and cleaned properly, the Cherry Nipple Shield can be part of your breastfeeding toolkit. It’s designed for everyday breastfeeding use as needed with guidance from health professionals when latch challenges are present.
