Breastfeeding Shells

Special new collection BEBE NACRE

The Story of Mama Nacre

Dear reader, let me tell you the story of Bébé Nacre. It all began during my studies at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. I was fascinated by the way women, throughout time, used precious objects linked to their bodies.

One day, a friend told me about a Scandinavian tradition: women used shells on their breasts while breastfeeding. This idea deeply touched me. In 2006, I began searching for and crafting shells to give to my breastfeeding friends.

What are nursing shells?

Your natural ally for peaceful breastfeeding.

Nursing shells are 100% natural mother-of-pearl nipple shields. Placed inside the bra, they protect against chafing and keep breast milk in contact with the nipple. Breast milk is ideal for preventing and healing cracked nipples.
