NUK Nipple shields: a pleasant breastfeeding experience for mother and child

Breastfeeding allows you and your baby to get to know each other better with a sense of security and intimacy. However, sometimes breastfeeding is difficult due to irritated or injured nipples. In such cases, the NUK nipple shield can help as it relieves sensitive nipples while breastfeeding and at the same time ensures natural breastfeeding with peace of mind. This way you can continue to give precious breast milk to your beloved baby and maintain a strong bond with him

NUK Breastfeeding Nipple Shield - your 'little helper' when breastfeeding is made of ultra-thin silicone

The special feature of NUK nipple shields is their improved shape that allows more contact of the baby with your skin. 92% of mothers confirm that the child's nose has sufficient space when using the NUK nipple shield*. The infant can feel and smell its mother and the strong bond that develops during breastfeeding cannot be disturbed. The different surface construction of the NUK nipple shields and the four nursing holes are modeled on the mother's breast and therefore allow a natural feel and ensure peace of mind when breastfeeding. NUK's nipple shields, made from thin silicone, relieve sensitive nipples during breastfeeding and also help babies who are unable to breastfeed to latch onto the mother's breast better.

If the nipples are flat or indented, the NUK nipple shield can contribute to pleasant breastfeeding and natural milk flow. Please also consult a midwife or lactation consultant for reliable advice.

The round radius allows the nipple shield to be used in any breastfeeding position and ensures a firm hold. With the practical protective case you can also store the NUK nipple shield safely and hygienically.

How to fit the NUK nipple shield correctly:

To find the right size for you, you should first answer a few questions: Do I feel like the shield fits and am I comfortable wearing it? Does the nipple fill the empty shield space? Do the infant's lips fit completely around the shield? If your answer is "yes" to the questions compared, you have found the right size for your nipple shield and you can start using them. You should follow the steps below so that your beloved baby can enjoy breastfeeding:

Before using the nipple shield, you should wash your hands thoroughly and clean your breast with a wet cloth.
The fit of NUK nipple shields can be enhanced by slightly wetting the nipples with water or breast milk.
For optimal placement on the nipple, pull the contact surfaces of the cone to the edge so you can easily center it. You can then place the contact surfaces back and align them according to your desired breastfeeding position.
After each use, you should clean the breast with water to remove milk residues and therefore avoid germs.

How to clean the nursing shield

When in contact with your baby, it is necessary to follow the rules of hygiene very consistently every time. After using the nipple shield it is good to clean it immediately with warm water and a mild cleaning liquid. It can then be dried in a sanitary area. The protective case provided is given to be stored there afterwards. You can disinfect or boil the nipple shield daily. This can easily be done in minutes with the help of a NUK steam sterilizer. When sterilizing by boiling, completely cover the shield with water to prevent damage and boil immediately. If you follow the hygiene rules you can reuse the nipple shield several times.
