Frequently Asked Questions
What are Silverette® Nursing Cups, and how do they work?
Silverette® Nursing Cups are small, concave shields crafted from pure 925 sterling silver, designed to protect and heal sore or cracked nipples during breastfeeding. Silver's natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe sensitive skin and promote healing without the need for creams or ointments. Worn between feedings, these cups create a protective barrier, reducing friction from clothing and allowing the nipples to recover naturally.
How should I use Silverette® Nursing Cups?
After each breastfeeding session, gently place the Silverette® cups directly over your nipples, ensuring they are held in place by your bra. It's beneficial to express a few drops of breast milk onto the nipple before applying the cups, as breast milk has natural healing properties. Wear the cups continuously between feedings, removing them before nursing. Regular use can help prevent and heal nipple soreness effectively.
Are Silverette® Nursing Cups available in different sizes?
Yes, Silverette® Nursing Cups come in two sizes: Regular and Extra Large. The Regular size is suitable for areolas measuring up to 4.5 cm in diameter and bra sizes up to a C cup. The Extra Large size is recommended for areolas larger than 4.5 cm and bra sizes above a C cup. Choosing the correct size ensures optimal comfort and effectiveness.
How do I clean and maintain my Silverette® Nursing Cups?
After each use, rinse the cups with warm water to remove any milk residues. To keep them shiny, create a paste using baking soda and a small amount of water, rub it onto the cups, rinse thoroughly, and dry them. Avoid using disinfectants, as they may damage the silver. Regular cleaning ensures the cups remain hygienic and effective.
Can I use Silverette® Nursing Cups with absorbent breast pads?
Yes, you can use Silverette® Nursing Cups in conjunction with absorbent breast pads. Place the Silverette® cups directly over your nipples, and then position the breast pads over the cups. Your nursing bra will help hold everything securely in place, providing both protection and absorption.
Are Silverette® Nursing Cups safe for both mother and baby?
Absolutely. Silverette® Nursing Cups are made from pure 925 sterling silver, free from nickel and other harmful substances. They are safe for both mother and baby, even if the baby latches directly after the cups have been worn. There's no need to wipe or wash the nipples before breastfeeding, as the cups do not leave any harmful residues.
How long can I use Silverette® Nursing Cups?
The efficacy of Silverette® Nursing Cups does not diminish over time. They are designed for long-term use and can be utilized throughout your entire breastfeeding journey. With proper care, they can also be saved and used for subsequent children, making them a sustainable and cost-effective solution for nipple care.
Can Silverette® Nursing Cups help prevent nipple soreness?
Yes, Silverette® Nursing Cups can be used as a preventive measure against nipple soreness. Their natural antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties help protect the nipples from infections and irritation, reducing the likelihood of soreness developing during breastfeeding.
What should I do if my Silverette® Nursing Cups tarnish over time?
It's normal for silver to tarnish over time. To restore the shine of your Silverette® Nursing Cups, create a paste using baking soda and a small amount of water, rub it onto the cups, rinse thoroughly, and dry them. Regular maintenance will keep your cups looking and functioning like new.
Are there any clinical studies supporting the effectiveness of Silverette® Nursing Cups?
Yes, Silverette® Nursing Cups have been clinically tested at the University of Padua hospital for two years before their market launch. They are classified as a Class I Medical Device and have cleared ISO 10993-10 skin irritability tests, confirming their safety and effectiveness in preventing and healing sore nipples during breastfeeding.
