AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Nov. 10, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Haakaa, a New Zealand family-owned baby brand, has introduced the LatchFlow System™ Nipple Shield, a product designed to help mothers continue breastfeeding while providing nipple protection and supplemental milk. The shield, which features a built-in channel for delivering supplemental milk, is now available on Amazon in three sizes to fit a range of nipple sizes.
The LatchFlow System™ Nipple Shield is intended for mothers who require both nipple protection and supplemental milk delivery at the breast. It was developed based on the clinical experience of Megan Hangan, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) from Learn Latch Love. The product brings two essential functions together in one design: extra milk at the breast and nipple protection.
The ultra-thin, medical-grade silicone shield uses two milk pathways. A compatible milk source, such as an oral feeding syringe or a LatchFlow dispenser or pouch, connects to the shield's tube, and the built-in channel carries supplemental milk to the baby through small 360-degree holes. At the same time, separate openings in the shield allow the mother's own breast milk to pass through as the baby feeds. The cut-out shape also allows for skin-to-skin contact, enhancing the bonding experience.
Haakaa offers the LatchFlow System™ Nipple Shield in three kits to fit the needs of different families. Each kit is available in Small (17mm opening, for 13 to 16mm nipples), Medium (20mm opening, for 16 to 19mm nipples), and Large (24mm opening, for 19 to 23mm nipples), measured at the base of the nipple, excluding the areola.
- The LatchFlow System, Nipple Shield ($24.99 MSRP) is designed for families who already have a supplemental milk source. The 3.8mm shield connector attaches to a compatible oral feeding syringe or to a LatchFlow dispenser or pouch, facilitating shield feeding. The kit includes the nipple shield, a shield storage frame, a cleaning brush, and a storage case.
- The LatchFlow System, Nipple Shield + 20ml Dispenser ($44.99 MSRP) is a ready-to-use setup that pairs the shield with an easy-to-squeeze 20ml silicone dispenser. This option supports shield feeding or tube-at-breast feeding when a shield is not needed. The kit includes two extension tubes, two small feeding tubes, and medical tape, along with the shield storage frame, cleaning brush, and storage case.
- The LatchFlow System, Nipple Shield + 20ml Dispenser + 120ml Pouch ($59.99 MSRP) is the most comprehensive option, featuring both milk sources and flow control in one kit. The flexible 120ml pouch has a wide opening for easy filling and an attachment loop that secures to a bra strap. A flow controller and switch allow mothers to start, pause, or adjust the flow. The kit supports shield feeding or tube-at-breast feeding when a shield is not needed. It includes the 20ml dispenser, two extension tubes, two flow controllers, one flow switch, small and large feeding tubes, medical tape, a shield storage frame, a cleaning brush, and a storage case.
A shape-retaining storage frame, cleaning brush, and storage case help keep the shield clean and organized between feeds. The LatchFlow System™ Nipple Shield is made from medical-grade silicone and meets ISO, EU, and FDA standards. It is available now on Amazon, with each kit priced at $24.99, $44.99, and $59.99 MSRP, respectively.
