Supporting You Supporting Mothers

Sore nipples, latching difficulties, and milk leakage are common in the early days of breastfeeding.1 That’s why our breast care range is designed as a complete support system — helping to relieve soreness, protecting sensitive nipples, and repairing cracked nipples when needed. To help provide individual, effective care to mothers at every stage.

A Complete Support System for Breast Care

For over 60 years, Medela has collaborated with scientists and healthcare professionals to understand lactation and infant feeding at its core. It is with these insights that we develop research-based solutions that go beyond function to support and nurture that special bond between mother and baby.

Purelan™, Hydrogel Pads, Contact™ Nipple Shields, and Ultra-breathable Nursing Pads are the pillars of our breast care solutions system, developed to complement your clinical expertise and turning science into care.

 

 

SORE NIPPLES
PurelanTM Lanolin Cream

Up to 97% of mothers experience dry skin and sore nipples in the early weeks after birth.1,2

Recommend Purelan™ to help restore the skin’s natural moisture balance and provide fast, soothing relief for nipple discomfort, supporting continued breastfeeding.

  • 100% pure, medical-grade lanolin, certified natural by EcoCert and Natrue
  • Rich texture nourishes dry skin and supports the skin’s barrier
  • Safe for baby, no need to remove before breastfeeding
  • Food-contact grade tube

    CRACKED NIPPLES
    Hydrogel Pads

    When latch-on issues and soreness persist, soreness can progress into cracked nipples, Hydrogel Pads offer an effective treatment option. They provide instant pain relief3,4 and support tissue recovery by creating a moist wound environment that promotes healing.5

    • Soothes and cools for instant pain relief to sore and cracked nipples
    • Maintains a moist healing environment to support faster healing
    • Forms a protective barrier against rubbing and further damage caused by friction

      LATCHING DIFFICULTIES
      Contact™ Nipple Shields

      Contact™ Nipple Shields provide temporary support when breastfeeding is painful or ineffective due to sore, flat, or inverted nipples or the baby struggles to latch onto the breast. They help maintain breastfeeding while protecting the nipples and allowing healing to occur.

      • Unique cut-out shape to maximise skin-to-skin contact
      • Ultra-thin, flexible silicone to optimise nipple stimulation
      • 3 sizes available: S (16 mm), M (20 mm), L (24 mm)

        MILK LEAKAGE
        Ultra-breathable Nursing Pads

        Milk leakage is normal as milk “comes in” and supply establishes. Recommend Medela’s Nursing Pads to help mothers manage leakage discreetly, effectively, and comfortably.

        • Super-soft with triple-layered core which absorbs 50x its own weight
        • Only 1.6 mm thin: discreet and comfortable under clothing
        • Protects against grease stains on the bra when using nipple creams
