Nipple Shield Use: A Guide
To use a Medela nipple shield, wash thoroughly and position it securely on the breast, ensuring the nipple is centered. Latch the baby onto the shield, aligning their nose with the cut-out. Breastfeed as usual, allowing the baby to draw milk through the shield’s thin layer. Clean and store the shield properly after use. Consider seeking guidance from healthcare professionals or breastfeeding support organizations for personalized advice on shield selection, use, and troubleshooting common issues to ensure a successful breastfeeding experience.
