Mamivac Breastfeeding Support Products

For nursing mothers navigating latch difficulties, sore or flat nipples, or a baby who struggles to attach, Mamivac makes thoughtfully engineered support products that ease the way. This German-made brand has long been trusted in maternity wards and lactation practices, and Honest Medical carries its silicone nipple shields for both hospital and at-home use.

Nipple shields work by creating a firmer, more defined shape for baby to latch onto, which can protect healing skin, help premature or reluctant babies feed more effectively, and give mothers relief during those early tender weeks. Getting the right shape and size matters more than most new parents realize — a shield that's too large or too small won't seal properly against the areola, which can affect milk transfer and comfort.

Mamivac shields come in two shapes to suit different needs. The cherry-shaped style, available in Small (18 mm) and Medium (22 mm), offers a rounded profile that many babies accept readily and works well when a fuller shape encourages a wider latch. The conical-shaped design, offered in Small (18 mm) and Large (28 mm), gives a more tapered fit that some mothers find easier to position. Sizing generally follows nipple diameter rather than baby's age, so measuring across your nipple (not the areola) is the most reliable guide — and it's common to try more than one size before finding the best fit.

All Mamivac shields here are made from soft, medical-grade silicone that's thin enough for baby to feel warmth and skin contact, yet durable enough to be washed and reused. They're free of latex and BPA, and can be cleaned and sterilized between feedings for daily use.
