ecobub MESHIES™: stretch-fit breastfeeding shields

New mama energy

As a second time mama, I’ve had the joy of being able to breastfeed both my daughters. First time around it was a tough and steep learning curve, with lots of trauma. I tried everything on the planet to make it work - if only these were around then!

Products like ecobub’s nipple shields will give so many new and repeat mothers the chance to establish a positive breastfeeding journey, allowing that new mama energy and confidence to flourish.

Soft, thin and flexible

I really liked how soft, thin and flexible these nipple shields are. They felt comfortable to wear without being bulky, and the stretch-fit design made them easy to use. The reusable silicone storage pouch is also a practical addition for keeping them clean and protected between uses. I appreciated the brand’s commitment to Australian manufacturing, recyclable packaging and supporting breastfeeding through thoughtful product design. It’s also encouraging to see a female-founded business focused on supporting mothers while making conscious choices around local production and sustainability.

A genuinely innovative approach to nipple shield design

The MESHIES take a genuinely innovative approach to nipple shield design – perforated and a stretch-fit silicone that morphs to different nipple shapes during a feed rather than requiring a fixed size, which removes one of the biggest barriers to shields that actually work (years back when I tried these they were so inflexible). The TGA-registered, 100% food-grade BPA/BPS-free silicone is a non-negotiable in this category, and the fact that it is durable and reusable makes it a far more considered alternative to the single-use options most mothers are handed.

With experience, you know what you need

I shared the ecobub idea to some friends and they are as excited about it as I am. ecobub is such an improvement on the current shields which have not changed in years. I decided that I would get a larger pack and put a couple in the baby gift pack I put together for other "new mum" friends. With experience you know what you need to start out - and a good nipple shield is essential to maintain that breastfeeding journey for some mums. 

I hope this product can help many, many future mums

This is such a valuable product!

I know way too many mums who haven’t been able to continue their breastfeeding journey, and this is exactly the product that could have helped them. There is so much pressure for the first few weeks of feeding to be so magical, but with so much pain sometimes, it’s not possible and it feels like a failure. I hope this product can help many, many future mums feel confident and comfortable enough to continue their breastfeeding journey!

I really like the focus on sustainability as that it is a huge tick for me

This product is perfect for helping mums initiating breastfeeding. All the other shields I have seen are really stiff and uncomfortable. This shield looks much more comfortable for mum and bub. I wish this product was around when I needed support with breastfeeding as it would have made the experience more successful. I really like the focus on sustainability as that it is a huge tick for me.
