It can be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher (in the top rack or in the cutlery compartment). MAM recommends cleaning the valve body and the valve membrane by hand.

Nipple Shields

If baby is not able to drink from the breast, or the breast is very sensitive, MAM Nipple Shields offer gentle protection for sore nipples. They can be used at short notice and in consultation with a breastfeeding consultant.

MAM Nipple Shields are sterilized before they are first used and when necessary. This can be done using boiling water, a steam sterilizer or a commercially available sterilizing solution.

MAM Nipple Shields come in a smart, sterilizable storage box. They are then stored safely and hygienically at all times.
