How to Use Contact™ Nipple Shields

Using Medela Contact™ Nipple Shields correctly can help make breastfeeding more comfortable and effective. Follow these simple steps to ensure proper use:

  1. Wash your hands, then moisten the nipple shield with drinking quality water.
  2. Using your thumbs, push the tip of the shield halfway in.
  3. Place the shield centrally over the nipple so the cut-out will face your baby’s nose during feeding.
  4. Push down on the wings until the shield pops out again and a seal is formed.
