Slightly moisten the shield with water or breast milk for better adhesion.
Fold back the contact surfaces, centre it over the nipple, and adjust the shield to your preferred breastfeeding position.
After use, clean your breast to remove any milk residue and avoid germ build-up.

Disinfect daily by boiling or using a steam steriliser like the NUK Vario or Micro Express.
Use the included protective container for hygienic storage-place the shield in the lid and close securely to avoid deformation
