Breast shell

Breast shells are like little hats that go over your nipples (the little bumps on your chest). They can be made of plastic or silicone and are usually worn by people who are breastfeeding.

A breast shell can help with sore or cracked nipples by creating a little space between your nipple and your bra or clothes. This can help reduce irritation and allow your nipples to heal faster.

Breast shells can also help if you have flat or inverted nipples (ones that don't stick out as much). By wearing a breast shell, your nipple can be gently pulled out and make it easier for your baby to latch on when they are nursing.

When you wear a breast shell, you may notice that some milk leaks into the shell. This is normal and the milk can be saved and given to your baby later.

Overall, breast shells are a helpful tool for people who are breastfeeding and can make the experience more comfortable and successful.
