Medela Milk Collection Shells - BPA-, Made from Soft

The Elvie Curve is a wireless, wearable, electricity-free breast pump that lets you collect breast milk. If you’ve heard of the Haakaa, you will understand the concept behind the Elvie Curve. Like the Haakaa, the Elvie Curve is made of silicone and uses natural suction to draw breast milk from your breast. It is similar to the popular Haakaa but better, in my opinion, because it fits in your bra. The Curve allows you to express up to 4 ounces of milk with little to no effort. Just slip the Curve into your bra, allow it to suction, and watch the milk collect. Effortless Milk Collection A key to having a successful breastfeeding journey is a great foundation of knowledge and support,” says Duhaney. “Taking a breastfeeding course before giving birth can help prepare you for what to expect while breastfeeding your new little bundle of joy.” Lots of breastfeeding parents are surprised by their letdown—that’s what happens when your baby starts nursing and your breasts sense that it’s time for the milk to flow.Milk collection shells are worn over your nipple to collect leaking breast milk, ensuring that not a drop that leaks during feeds goes to waste. Medela milk collection shells are made from skin-friendly materials and shaped to your body, making them comfortable and discreet to wear. While warm compresses and showers can promote milk let-down it is not recommended to use the Silicone Breast Milk Collector when showering as you may inadvertently contaminate your collected milk with shower gels / body soaps, etc. You can wear milk collection shells during breastfeeding to catch leaking milk as described above, as well as between feeds to avoid wet patches. Just remember to remove them every two to three hours and let your breasts air-dry, as this prevents any excess moisture damaging your nipples. And avoid wearing breast shells in bed at night, as this can cause skin tenderness – you could try disposable nursing pads to absorb heavy leaking breast milk instead, or Ultra thin disposable nursing pads if your flow is lighter. Lots of breastfeeding parents also use bottles to feed their little ones. A bottle is helpful if you’re returning to work, going out for a few hours or simply want a break from nursing. But you’ll want to make sure you select the right one.
