Description of SoftShells Breast Shell Soothers - Sore Nipples
SoftShells Breast Shells were created with working mothers in mind. Offering the same care for sore, flat or inverted nipples as Medela s other shells, the SoftShells offer increased comfort and a more flattering appearance. Soft, silicone backs on the shells flex to match the contour of a woman s breast, creating a more snug, comfortable fit. The fronts of the shells are vented on the top to provide proper air circulation. Highly absorbent foam inserts protect against leaking.Baby Products Reviews of SoftShells Breast Shell Soothers - Sore Nipples
Customer Review: What a relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
After nursing for one month straight for a voracious baby, my nipples had gotten so sore and painful that I wondered if me crying while nursing was going to be the "norm" for me - even with lathering the lanolin after each feeding. I had already seen a lactation consultant, who said the latching was perfect, so I knew that wasn't the problem. I decided that other moms must have gone through this too, so I researched and found these Soft Shells ---- What a DREAM these are! They protect my sore nipples so well, I wish I had found them sooner! I began to notice things I was doing that probably aggravated the situation. For example, holding the baby against my shoulder to burp him, then I'd slide his body down my chest to settle him in my lap -- HELLO! rubbing against my nipple! OUCH! NO MORE PAIN WITH THESE SOFT SHELLS!! They even help while driving (the seatbelt kept chafing against my breast - so I'd have to drive with one hand holding the seatbelt away and the other on the steering wheel!) I am a D cup, and they do, unfortunately, look silly under T-shirts, but with winter coming it won't matter with sweater season and all.
I had no problem wih leakage like some of the other reviewers have, but I do use the washable breast pads folded in half like someone else had mentioned, just in case. Then I wash all in a laundry bag along with the foam inserts that come with it.
If you have a soreness problem - DEFINITELY try these! Like I mentioned before, if I had found these sooner, I might not have had to use formula to supplement - I couldn't deal with the pain anymore! Now I nurse, pump, and use formula. Oh, well, maybe with my next baby I'll have these to help me nurse exclusively for longer.
I hope this helps more nursing mothers - good luck! And don't give up!
