Hi has anyone out there made use of 'breast shells' to collect milk and protect the nipples between feeds? I have heard some good things about them but wonder if anyone has personal experience and can recommend a brand? Also can these be worn under maternity bras / clothing? Thanks. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I use the Avent breast shells and they're very comfortable. Nice to be covered up but still airing sore nipples. Unfortunately the can only be worn for 40 mins at a time as the pressure around aerreola may block milk ducts. They really only good for around the house as they look quite obvious when wearing them. They have to go under your bra to be held in place. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Thanks so much for the reply! I managed to get some cheaply on Trade Me, so good to know that they do offer some relief even if short-term! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
