LIFESAVER!
This nipple shield is a LIFESAVER!! I had a very badly cracked nipple causing excruciating pain when my baby latched. This product saved me. It took my pain from a 9/10 to a 3/10 and made nursing so much better while I healed. A little tip is to add lanolin to the nipple before adding the shield. Highly recommend this product!! :-)

No good
This is a terrible shield. And insanely overpriced. Go with a different brand you’ll get 2 and it’ll be a third of the price.

Nice portable option
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up not really needing to use this because we had to switch over to formula pretty quickly so I gifted it to my friend who was breast feeding. She says it has been really helpful for her.

Saved my breastfeeding journey
My baby had a hard time latching to my breast because I’m often engorged or because a nipple is not as structured as a bottle. Either way I was ready to give up and this saved me. It’s also pain free with the right size. I got the wrong size at first and they truly will send a new one if you reach out!!

Breast-feeding support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There’s no more guessing of if your baby had enough milk or is actually getting milk with this product. It’s really a great idea. You can see the milk flowing. It’s nice and portable. Comes with a travel bag and comes in different sizes for your nipple shape overall pretty impressed with this product.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did not work for us. My baby ended up not liking the nipple shield but I didn’t have a huge issue with latch to start with, I was just experiencing a little soreness. The product itself is quality and durable, we just didn’t need it. Easy to use and easy to wash.

It works, just not the one for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the carrying case that can also be used to sterilize it and the syringe to help flush it clean. However, my baby wasn’t a fan of this shield. She got frustrated with it and how much work she had to do to get the milk compared to not having a shield. The plastic material of the shield wasn’t my favorite, it made my nipple feel sweaty. It does work though if you need something to protect your nipples as they adjust to breastfeeding.

I love this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I wanna give kudos to the packaging of this product. It’s like opening up a gift. The travel case is also top-tier. It’s a lovely pink color, which is awesome. This is wonderful to have during the first few weeks of nursing again the cleaning syringe also makes cleaning the shields so much easier sometimes it’ll get clogged at the end of a feeding. This just allows cleaning to be much more easier. I highly recommend this. Especially if you are a first time mother.

Cool Concept
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Munchkin Flow Nipple Shield + is a really interesting concept. I love the packaging and the overall idea behind it. Being able to actually see the milk flowing through the tube into my son’s mouth is such a neat feature and makes feeding feel a little more transparent and reassuring. The shield itself is very well made. It is thin and skin like, which helps it feel closer to a natural latch, and it is also very easy to clean. That said, this particular size was not the best fit for my nipple. There is a small gap that causes bubbles to form in the tube, so it does not sit as snugly as I would prefer. My son also needed a little time to get used to it. At seven months old he kept inspecting it during feeds, which was honestly a little funny to watch. The storage container is so clutch. Overall I like the concept and appreciate the thoughtful design, but because the fit was not quite right for me I probably would not purchase it again.

good idea, not so good in practicality .
it doesn't work effectively. baby struggled to latch on it and have the milk come through. unfortunately you can't return... so it's just a waste of $30.

I’m very happy with this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very happy with this product. The Munchkin Flow Nipple Shied really helped make breastfeeding more comfortable. The sheilds are soft, thin, and almost unnoticeable, which makes its easy for the baby to latch and feed naturally, I especially like the transparent channel that allows you to see the milk flow and make sure the baby is feeding properly.

Great product when needed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a fantastic short term solution! I used this to help establish nursing, it gave me a lot of confidence knowing she was getting adequate amounts of milk! I also love that you can sterilize in the container! I wish the silicone was medical grade and I find the sizing slightly bigger than other nipples shields and a little bulkier. I wouldn’t use it long term as the cleaning is very intensive and I worry about milk being legs inside to grow bacteria. The case is nice and has everything you need to upkeep and travel with the product!
