How to Use Nipple Shields
Check Orientation: Ensure the nipple shield is not inside out. The Dr. Brown's logo should be visible and correctly oriented when viewed from the outside.

Adhesion (Optional): If needed, apply a very small amount of nipple balm to the inside wings of the shield to help it adhere to the skin.

During Feeding: Once feeding begins, you may need to rotate the shield to ensure the baby's nose is not obstructed and to maximize skin-to-skin contact.
