The Philips Avent breast shield is designed to protect the nipple while allowing the baby's skin to come into contact with the mother's skin. It helps mothers who have problems with the nipples or when the baby has problems with latching. The material from which the cover is made is an ultra-thin and extremely soft, skin-friendly silicone for the breast. The overlay has the shape of a nipple, which facilitates latching and feeding in the case of flat or inverted nipples, as well as irregularities in the structure of the baby's oral cavity. The shield extends the nipple and keeps it in the correct position during feeding breaks. Provides protection for cracked, sensitive or sore nipples.

The Avent product comes with a handy and practical hygienic packaging which will act as a safe place for storage and will also allow the cases to be sterilized in a microwave oven.
