[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First in foremost! Great sanitation syringe. I’m very big on sanitation! This really works for me. The comfort is there and it fit perfectly for feeding sessions. I love the travel kit so it makes packing everything very easy. Everything you will need for nursing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great. It’s very essential for new born Brest feeding mothers. It’s plastic material looking like real nipples .It’s also comfortable. It’s easy to clean. It’s flexible that’s why it’s fit every nipple. And I am highly recommend munchkin flow nipple shield. Because of my wife already using this, while she Brest feeding my baby.

Bottle Baby

I purchased this because my baby has been using bottles since we came home from the hospital. I have been pumping so she is able to have breast milk but now she won’t drink from the breast. However, this tricked her into drinking no problem. She acted like it was the bottle. Now I have the option to feed her directly from the source without her putting up a fight and crying for 10 minutes before latching. I am a size 17 but the 16 fits fine. It is kind of a pain to clean but overall I would say it’s worth it for anyone struggling to breast feed. Plus, it is really cool to see the milk flowing so I know when she is drinking and when she isn’t!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nipple shield may work better for someone who doesn’t have a teething child. My daughter YANKED this off with her teeth and proceeded to chew on it like it was a chew toy (while milk was flowing)…. It may have been too small for me, I’m not sure. I’ve only used one other brand and that one isn’t as “chewy” as the this one

I wanted to love it… but I didn’t. It’s pretty thick and it’s hard to tell if the milk is flowing continuously or if it’s the same milk going slightly in and out. I wish I could return it as it was pretty pricey. If May work for some babies though. I appreciate the innovative thinking.

I loved that I could see the milk. It gave me peace of mind however being in between sizes I sized up and it was too big for me. I’m usually a 20-21 and I wish there were more sizes available, especially for the higher price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this product because the material was so thin and adhered very easily to my skin! It took a bit for my baby to get used to it but we loved it! It comes with a sleek case & a cleaning syringe. Super effective and breastfeeding friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the thoughtfulness behind this nipple shield. I have used other kinds before and still felt insecure about how much milk my baby was transferring. This nipple shield helps me feel confident that I am giving my baby a full feeding. As a busy mom, though, it is a pain to clean and I worry if it is not cleaned thoroughly, mold will form.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] According to my wife this is one of the must have item while she is breastfeeding she loved it and did video instead of me😅 she is recommending it to have for breastfeeding moms
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was breastfeeding, there were days my baby struggled to latch or my skin felt sore — and the Munchkin Flow Nipple Shield became a real lifesaver. The 20mm size fit comfortably and stayed in place well, creating a gentle barrier that helped my baby latch without pain for me. The silicone is soft, flexible, and food-safe, so it feels natural for both baby and mom. The flow is just right for medium speed — not too fast to overwhelm, but enough that baby stays engaged. Cleaning is super easy — just wash with warm soapy water or pop into the sterilizer. Pros: • Soft, safe silicone that’s comfortable for both mom and baby • Helps with latch issues and sore nipples • Medium flow keeps baby feeding steadily • Easy to clean and sterilize • Compact size — easy to keep in diaper bag Cons: • Takes some babies a little time to adjust • Not a long-term solution — ideally used temporarily

Love this shield and such a great fit. I really like seeing the feedback of milk flowing through. Cleaning is the only thing that’s a little cumbersome. You have to do it right away or milk build up will dry up and stick in the funnel.

We really struggled with breastfeeding with my now 4 week old. The first 2 weeks were so rough and she had a tongue tie that really affected her ability to transfer milk so I never knew how much she was getting. Being able to see when the milk was flowing and when it was not with this nipple shield is a game changer. We still don’t have breast feeding down pat but we’ve made so much progress largely in part to this product. Also, the peace of mind it brought me was invaluable

Too finicky

Lindsay K - 21 days ago, Verified purchaser
Too finicky.It’s a balancing act to keep the thing on and it’s a really long nipple so it gags my baby. I pre cleaned it before the first use and water was stuck in the line. Had to figure out how to clear it. So $40 wastes. Also Target is selling these for $40 and Munchkin has them for $30.

Great in Theory
2 out of 5 stars
Dora R. - 24 days ago
originally posted on Munchkin
In theory this is a GREAT nipple shield, I think it works for babies that have the sucking strength but they can’t latch well in my case, My child isn’t able to suck with enough force so the extra distance of having to suck milk through the tube made it extra frustrating for him. Cleaning, while I understand is for safety’s sake, is a huge pain.
