Other nipple and breast products It was in the early 60s that a British business man discovered Tommee Tippee and set up a manufacturing unit in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK to produce the baby feeding products of cups and accessories. The original cup was designed by a Doctor with a weighted base which prevented it ‘tippping’ over and was embellished with a picture of a dog owned by the plastic company’s producers called ‘Tommee’; hence the name Tommee Tippee. Today the brand is the number one in the UK and Australian baby essentials market with approximately 65% of its overall sales coming via distribution in international markets reaching over 40 countries. In 2020 it won the'Parenting Brand of the Year' by Made for Mums. Before you get started, it’s best to make sure that your nipple is full size. You can do this by gently rolling it between your thumb and finger or by putting something cold on it.

The thin silicon cover can reduce the signals your body needs to make milk. This can lead to reduced milk supply and your baby not gaining enough weight.

Why do I need to measure my nipples?

Open steri-case and carefully, keeping hands and body away from the opening to prevent scalding from any escape of steam, pour away any leftover water. Nipple shields come in different sizes based on the size of your nipples. Ask your PHN or midwife for advice on how to measure properly.
