Overview
Medela Silicone Contact Nipple Shields, Soft Ultra-Thin Design is one of 50 baby feeding products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Medela's Contact Nipple Shields enable breastfeeding when latching on is difficult or painful by protecting nipples and helping your baby attach more easily. The ultra-thin, soft silicone is comfortable on sensitive skin and the special shape helps to maximise skin contact between you and your little one. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. It holds 4.3 out of 5 on Amazon from 9,236 ratings. Where that leaves it next to the rest of the shelf is set out below.
Across the 50 rated baby feeding products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.7 out of 5. This one scores 4.3. Bottom quarter of the shelf. Not a red flag by itself, but similar money buys a better-rated option here, so the case for this one has to come from somewhere else.
9,236 people rated it, where the shelf median is 3,593. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.
On money, this sits in the middle third of a shelf running from £2.28 to £44.97, with the midpoint around £9.00. That's where most sensible buys land, neither the cheapest thing on the shelf nor the one you pay a name for.
