181 - Medela Nipple Formers gently prepare your nipples for breastfeeding. They softly draw the nipple out so that your baby can latch on more easily. The soft and flexible silicone membrane provides a comfortable and snug fit, helping to make breastfeeding problems a thing of the past. Flat or inverted nipples can make breastfeeding more difficult. Some babies may have trouble latching onto such nipples properly, which can cause soreness or injury. The silicone membrane of the Nipple Formers applies gentle pressure to the areola, gradually encouraging the nipple to protrude. The treatment can begin during pregnancy (from the 30th or 32nd week onward). Start by wearing the formers for one hour a day, then gradually increase usage up to around 8 hours per day. After your baby is born, wear the formers between feedings (for ½ to 1 hour before breastfeeding). Avoid wearing them during the night to prevent possible irritation.*
