Frequently Asked Questions
The Nuzzi is a breastfeeding aid that supports and lifts your breast to create a better latch, increase milk transfer, and give you and your baby a more successful breastfeeding experience. Developed by a pediatrician and team of certified lactation nurses with 20+ years of experience, The Nuzzi is the "third hand" that helps you with ease and comfort feeding your newborn baby. The Nuzzi comes in two sizes with adjustable straps for extra comfort, and includes a convenient bag to take it anywhere. Our product is safety tested and approved, giving moms the assurance of a safe and effective aid for breastfeeding your baby.
To use The Nuzzi, simply put it around your head and one arm, positioning the pouch below your nursing breast and the strap on the opposite shoulder. The Nuzzi should rest between your breasts with the pouch below your nursing breast. Slide the plastic adjustable strap until The Nuzzi is snug and supportive, gently lifting your breast into position. When nursing, the breast should be positioned to ensure a good latch, which is essential for effective breastfeeding.
The Nuzzi can be used when your baby is any age; however, we've found it is most helpful between newborn and 3 months, when a baby's neck isn't strong enough to stay in position.
Many moms with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have found The Nuzzi gives their hand a chance to rest while breastfeeding.
The Nuzzi can easily by wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild cleanser to gently wipe away any surface stains. Do not submerge your Nuzzi in water or machine wash your Nuzzi. Surface cleaning should be all that is needed to keep your Nuzzi clean.
The Nuzzi comes in two sizes — small/medium and large/xlarge. For cup sizes A-D, we recommend the small/medium. For cup sizes larger than D, we recommend the large/xlarge.
