Its butterfly-shaped design allows the child to have closer contact with the mother's breast. In this way, the baby feeds naturally and a decrease in milk flow due to lack of sucking is prevented.

Nipple shields are also useful for premature babies to be able to latch on to the breast more easily, especially in cases of inverted or flat nipples.
