Silver Nipple Cups

Silver is well-known as a healing agent. It is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Although silver nipple cups are still fairly new in South Africa, it has been used for much longer in other countries. New mothers’ reviews and reports on the success of these to treat sore nipples are overwhelmingly positive.

Nipple cups are molded with a peak and folded edges to fit snugly over the nipple. It provides a barrier between the nipple and clothing, and creates a healing environment. It also reduces the need for ointments and other medications which may be harmful to baby.

We know that many moms can benefit from these cups, but they are notoriously expensive. All Things Breastfeeding aims to make this wonderful products available to moms at a more affordable rate.  Remember that cracked nipples usually indicate an incorrect latch, so should your symptoms not improve, please contact us for a referral to a certified lactation consultant.
