nipple shields
Breastfeeding barrier covers
Nipple shields are protective covers worn over the nipples during breastfeeding, typically made of thin silicone, to help with latch problems or soreness: The lactation consultant suggested trying nipple shields until the baby learned to latch properly.
Separately, nipple shields are decorative covers worn over the nipples, often as jewelry or costume accessories.
