- 1). Place your milk or formula into a sterilized bottle. Insert the Nuk nipple into its ring, then screw the ring onto the bottle. Warm the milk in a water-filled pot on the stove, if desired. Check the temperature to ensure that it is just warm before feeding.
- 2). Hold your baby as upright as possible to reduce his chances of choking or gagging. Rub the baby's mouth with the Nuk nipple and tap it against his top lip to encourage him to open his mouth.
- 3). Insert the Nuk nipple into the baby's mouth as far as he is willing to accept it and is comfortable for him. Nuk nipples are short; therefore, the nipple won't go as far back into the mouth as others. With a Nuk nipple, the baby should close his lips tightly around the nipple and place his gums around it. If the baby won't accept the nipple, try adjusting your holding position or burp him and try again later.
