How to Use Nipple Shield Express a few drops of your breastmilk onto the inside of the nipple shield. Express a few drops of your breastmilk into the tip of the nipple shield, where the holes are. This will help encourage your baby to attach. Stretch the brim of the nipple shield somewhat outwards. Keeping the brim stretched, place the nipple shield centrally over the nipple, onto the breast, to help draw some of the nipple and areola into the crown of the shield as you release the stretch. Position any cut-outs where the baby s chin and nose will touch the breast. Flatten the brim of the shield over the breast. Hold the nipple shield in place with your fingers on the outside edges. (Notes: There should be a small space between the end of your nipple and the end of the crown of the nipple shield. If your nipple touches the end of the crown of the nipple shield, then the nipple shield is too small for you.) Point the crown of the nipple shield at your baby's nose and encourage your baby to open his mouth wide. As he attaches, the nipple shield can be directed towards the roof of your baby s mouth.
