If you find you're leaking breast milk from one breast as your baby feeds from the other, Medela milk collection shells can save this excess milk while you breastfeed.
Milk collection shells are worn over your nipple to collect leaking breast milk, ensuring that not a drop that leaks during feeds goes to waste. Medela milk collection shells are made from skin-friendly materials and shaped to your body, making them comfortable and discreet to wear.
Only breast milk collected duringbreastfeeding should be fed to your baby - throw any milk that collects between feeding sessions away. When you remove the milk collection shell, lean forwards slightly. Then use the shell's special pouring hole to transfer the breast milk that has been saved during a feed into a sanitised container, such as a breast milk bottle or storage bag.
Easy to Clean: It's important to keep your breastfeeding accessories clean, and this includes breast milk collection shells. Before the first time you use them - and once a day thereafter sanitise the breast shells.
Separate the parts and place them in a small pan filled with cold distilled water. If distilled water isn't available, add a teaspoon of citric acid to tap water to help prevent limescale build-up.
It's also important to clean milk collection shells after each use. Separate the parts and wash with a mild cleaning solution. Then rinse thoroughly in cold water, and dry on a clean cloth. Both the outer shell and inner membrane are dishwasher-safe, so you can also use this method of cleaning, or you could use a microwave bag.
