For best results, soak the nipple shield in clean hot water for 1-2 minutes prior to application – this makes them more pliable for a better fit. Apply a small amount of HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream to the rim of the shield to help keep it in place. Partially turn the nipple shield inside out by bringing the long edges towards the nipple. Bring the shield towards your breast, lining your nipple up with the opening. Push the rim of the shield toward your breast turning it right side out and enclosing as much of our nipple as possible into the opening. Feed as normal.
