How to use
- Prior to first use sterilise the shields. Prior to every use inspect for any damage and discard if found,
- Place your thumbs on the bottom of the shield,
- Turn the shield almost all the way inside out, leaving a small dimple at the end,
- Put your nipple into that dimple and then unroll the shield back down your nipple onto your areola
- You might find it helpful to apply a small bit of water around the edge of the shield to help it stick to your skin
The base should feel snug around your areola. Your nipple should be deep into the cherry-shaped area without touching against the sides.
Please note this is not a toy and should not be left with baby or children to play with.
