Medela Contact Nipple Shields Meduim 2 pcs

Product Description:

Medela Contact Nipple Shields can be an effective way to address breastfeeding through special situations like latching difficulties, overactive letdowns, flat or inverted nipples, and even soreness and irritation. These nipple shields for breastfeeding enable and promote continued nursing without interruption, as these problems are addressed and resolved.

How to use:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with drinking-quality water and soap before touching the shield and the breast. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.
• Clean the breast and surrounding area with a damp cloth.
• Do not use soap or alcohol which can dry the skin and cause cracked nipples.
• Moisten the shield with water as this will help it to stick to the skin
• Push the tip almost inside out and grip the wings of the shield
• Place the shield centrally over the nipple
• The open section should point in the direction of the baby’s nose during feeding.
• When choosing the correct nipple shield size you need to consider both mother and baby.

• For the mother, the shield should fit comfortably without pinching.
  
• In the case of a premature infant, when grasping the shield, the infant’s lips must be able to reach the flat base of the shield against the breast.

Caution & Warnings:

Put the clean nipple shield in the clean storage box, if available. Alternatively, put the shield in a clean storage bag or a clean environment. It is important that all residual moisture dries. Do not store in an airtight container/bag.
