Complete Guide to Using and Caring for Miracle Nipples and O-Ring Syringes

Proper nutrition is crucial for small mammals' health and development. The Miracle Nipple and Miracle O-Ring Syringe are designed to imitate a natural nursing experience, making feeding easier and safer for both caregivers and animals. Below, we outline how to care for and effectively use these products to ensure the best feeding experience for your furry friends.

Caring for Miracle Nipples

Miracle Nipples are crafted from high-quality, latex-free materials, ensuring durability and longevity. To keep them in optimal condition, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning Before Each Use: Clean the nipple thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well to remove any soap residue.
• Avoid Extended Soaking: Do not soak the nipple in soapy water for extended periods, as this can expand the rubber and reduce its ability to stay securely on the syringe.
• Drying: Dry the nipple completely before the subsequent use.
• Inspect for Damage: Check for signs of wear, such as cracks or tears, and replace the nipple if any damage is visible.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from sunlight.

Using the Miracle Nipple and O-Ring Syringe

Using the Miracle Nipples is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a successful feeding experience:

1. Choose the appropriate size Miracle Nipple and O-Ring Syringe for your mammal baby. 
2. Attach the Miracle Nipple to a syringe or a feeding bottle. 
3. Fill the syringe or bottle with the desired formula or milk replacement amount.
4. Hold the small mammal in a sternal (on their front), slightly upright, comfortable position, ensuring its head is supported.
5. Gently introduce the Miracle Nipple into the small mammal's mouth, allowing it to latch onto it naturally. When first starting, you may need to massage the animal's throat so they swallow the formula to get the taste and start a suckling reaction.
6. Initially, we always recommend using an O-ring syringe instead of a bottle. Most very small mammals should only be fed with the syringe on the nipple, not a bottle. The syringe allows you to control the flow of fluid, whereas a bottle does not. Without control, you risk the animal aspirating the formula.
7. Slowly depress the syringe to release the formula or milk replacement. Once babies latch, they will be able to suck the plunger down by themselves.
8. Observe the small mammal's feeding response and adjust the flow rate if necessary. You may need to hold the plunger back if the baby is suckling too hard and getting the formula too fast.
9. After each feeding, clean the Miracle Nipple per the care instructions mentioned above.

By following these care and usage instructions, you can ensure safe, efficient feeding, providing the essential nutrition small mammals need to thrive. Caregivers trust the Miracle Nipple and Miracle O-Ring Syringe for their reliable, natural feeding experience. Miracle Nipples for puppies and kittens provide safe feeding and promote natural nursing behaviours.
