How to Use

Nipple Shield Instructions

Nipple shields can help protect your nipples while still allowing breastfeeding. Made from soft, ultra-thin silicone, they are gentle enough for sensitive, dry, or cracked skin. 

1) A nipple shield is a soft, flexible silicone cover that is placed over the nipple before breastfeeding to provide protection. It has small holes at the tip, allowing milk to flow through to your baby.

Some mothers may be concerned that using a 'barrier' between them and their baby could affect the bonding experience during breastfeeding. - MedicareTech™ nipple shields address this by featuring three open sections, ensuring you can still maintain that precious skin-to-skin contact.

Weaning System Instructions

When your feeding routine is established, the baby’s sucking becomes stronger and you become more comfortable with breastfeeding, you may want to stop using the Nipple Shields.

We at AuraLai, have designed a step by step weaning system to comfortably allow your baby to go back to breast.  Use the open top nipple shields to get back to feeding straight from the nipple. Two sizes to gradually reintroduce the nipple. 

1) Place the highest open top nipple shield over the nipple before breastfeeding. It is open top to allow milk to flow through to your baby. The nipple is mostly still covered to give a gradual introduction to the new flow of the milk and the new sensation of the nipple.

2) Once feeding is established, place the lowest open top nipple shield over the nipple before breastfeeding. It is open top to allow milk to flow through to your baby. The nipple is less covered by the silicon cover to give a greater feel to the sensation of the nipple.

Cleaning Instructions

Before first use: Sterilise in boiling water for 5 minutes.

Regularly clean after each use with soapy cold water. Sterilise once daily.

Gentle protection without losing connection

What Is a Nipple Shield?

A nipple shield is a soft, flexible silicone cover worn over the nipple during breastfeeding. It protects sensitive or sore nipples while allowing milk to flow through small holes at the tip so your baby can feed naturally.

Some mums worry a shield might create distance during feeding. That’s why AuraLai™ nipple shields feature three open sections, allowing precious skin-to-skin contact—so you stay close while getting the support you need.

When To Use Nipple Shields

• If you have sore, cracked, or painful nipples.

• If you have flat or inverted nipples.

• If your baby is having difficulty latching properly and isn't feeding well.

• If you have a fast flow which is frustrating your baby.

• If your baby has teeth and often bites your nipple.

Helping you transition back to natural feeding

What Is a Weaning System?

As your breastfeeding journey progresses, your baby’s latch strengthens and feeding becomes more comfortable. Some mothers may no longer need the full nipple shield. That’s why the AuraLai™ nipple shield includes a step-by-step weaning system—designed to help your baby transition gently back to the breast.

The system uses open-top shields in two gradual sizes to reintroduce your nipple, supporting a smooth, stress-free return to natural feeding.

When To Use The Weaning System

• If your baby wants a faster flow of milk.

• If your baby has established feeding (we suggest to start weaning at around 3-4 months of age).

How do I know what size nipple shield to use?

To find your perfect size see our sizing guide here.

For any additional questions or concerns you can contact our support team at: medicaretechltd@gmail.com

Will using a nipple shield affect my milk supply?

When used correctly, a nipple shield shouldn’t negatively impact your milk supply. In fact, it can help babies latch more effectively, leading to better feeding sessions.

Can I still bond with my baby while using a nipple shield?

Yes! AuraLai™ nipple shields are uniquely designed with three open sections, allowing skin-to-skin contact even while wearing the shield, so you don’t lose that closeness.

How do I clean the nipple shield?

Simply wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly after each use. For extra hygiene, you can also sterilize it by boiling or using a sterilizer, following the included care instructions.

When should I start using the weaning system?

You can start the weaning system once your baby’s latch and sucking have strengthened and you feel more comfortable breastfeeding. The gradual size progression helps your baby transition smoothly back to the breast.

Is this product safe for newborns?

Yes! The nipple shield is made from medical-grade, BPA-free silicone and is safe for use from birth, under professional guidance if needed.
