*WHY PURCHASE FROM MOTHERING FROM THE HEART?

 AVENTInverted or flat nipples are the result of short lactiferous (milk bearing) ducts. The Niplette is designed to lengthen these ducts by the application of gentle suction. It is not always painless and easy to use. For this reason, the device should only be sold by a health care provider with knowledge about the product. Until recently, the only effective method of correcting inverted nipples was surgery, a costly solution that ruled out breastfeeding for good. The Niplette quickly corrects inverted nipples and has proven to be a permanent solution for both cosmetic purposes and normal breastfeeding.

When can you use the Avent Niplette?

The Avent Niplette is suitable for correcting inverted nipples which have developed as a result of hereditary factors or during puberty.

The Niplette is suitable for patients having had unsuccessful surgery to obtain cosmetic correction.

The Niplette is NOT suitable for lactating breasts, however there is no harm in using the Niplette for a few minutes to draw out the nipple and help your baby latch on. NB: Use is not recommended in the last two months of pregnancy. DO NOT use on inverted nipples developing later in life without medical advice. If in doubt consult your doctor.

Instructions for use (see diagrams)

1 Use an approved nipple ointment on your nipple area and areola and to the inner rim of the thimble before applying the Niplette.

2 Push the syringe firmly into the open end of the valve.

3 Hold the Avent Niplette over the inverted nipple with one hand and apply suction by pulling the syringe with the other. Pull as firmly as is comfortable. Do not pull too hard- use only enough suction to keep the device on.

4 When the nipple has been pulled out, let go of the Niplette, hold the valve and carefully separate the syringe from the valve. Be careful not to re-inject air into the sryinge.

5 Give a firm tug to the unit to ensure it has a good suction and hold against your skin.

6 Make sure your bra is pulled out of the way; now take the Protective Shells (not included with Niplette), bend the dangling tube completely in half and center the Shell over the Niplette. When close, let go of the tube and it will fold back out inside the Shell. Pull your bra back over the Shell.

You are now free to continue your daily activities wearing the Avent Niplette. With the Shells in place, the Niplette should remain intact.

To remove the Niplette, push the syringe into the valve to release the vacuum.

Important advice

To obtain the best and swiftest results the Avent Niplette should ideally be worn as much as possible during the day or night and at the maximum suction comfortable for you. One Niplette is required for each inverted nipple. It is possible to wear the device overnight provided you do not sleep on your front and it may be convenient to wear a loose fitting bra.

Used regularly, the nipple should fill the mould within approximately three weeks. Continue to use the Avent Niplette until the nipple does not retract. Use of the Niplette can then be reduced. Any initial tendency to retract is easily overcome by intermittent usage.

Some individuals may notice a small amount of clear discharge from their nipples, this is entirely normal.

If required the Avent Niplette can be cleaned in warm, soapy water. DO NOT sterilize.
