How to insert the NUK nipple shield correctly:To find the right size for you, you first need to answer some questions: Do I feel like the shield is fitted and do I feel comfortable wearing it? Does the nipple fill the empty space of the shield? Do the baby's lips fit snugly around the shield? If your answer is "yes" to these questions, you have found the right size for your nipple shield and you can start using them.

- Before using the nipple shield, you should wash your hands thoroughly and clean your breasts with a damp cloth.
- The application of NUK nipple shields can be enhanced by lightly wetting the nipples with water or breast milk.

- After each use, you should clean the breast with water to remove milk residue and therefore avoid germs.
