Medela breast shells

[banana87]

Has anyone used these before?

I was super leaky with DD so have bought some (and am rather excited about them!).

How did you find them? Any good tips for wear and disposal? Did you wear them out and about or just at home?

I bought some this time aroung after being supper leaky to start with with DD. To my disappointment though I didn't get to try them as didn't leaky half as much with DS.

Just though you mite like to know you may not be a leaky this time round.

I had some Avent ones - very useful, I could collect about 20ml from the right while feeding from the left. I did feel like Madonna-like and wouldn't have worn them out of the house. The small amounts of milk were useful for early weaning.

I used these in the early days when I had loads and loads of milk. Really useful to collect milk that would otherwise be lost. I sterilised the shells and at the end of the day froze the milk.
Wouldnt wear them out of the house though, they arent the most discreet.
I started to have oversupply issues so was advised to stop using them as they stimulated the nipple.
Also found them good to let a bit of air around the nipples when they were sore.

I used them for painful nipples, stopped anything touching them, they were brilliant. In terms of collecting milk they leaked, so were useless from that perspective!

I didn't wear them out and about, no way... Only in the comfort of my own home!
