Silverette Nursing Cups - Soothing Sore Breasts or Cracked Nipples with Silver… (Regular)

Product Information

It is important to recognize that in one study, NSs were only used if the infants demonstrated difficulty with nursing such as poor latch or poor milk transfer. These beautifully designed nipple shields are manufactured from brass and plated in either Rhodium or 14kt gold depending on the required finish. This study is mainly valuable for its descriptions of why the subjects thought they used NSs, although these reasons were specific to lactation practices in their communities.

Surgical Steel is the official name for a combination of metals creating this type of surgical stainless steel.Thanks to the natural healing, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties of silver, they prevent the appearance of sore cracked nipples and, if already present, aid healing.

Once your baby gets the hang of latching on — or your nipples heal — try feeding without the shield. Powers and Tapia 20 also conducted an informal telephone survey to document mothers' reasons for and perceptions of use of a silicone NS as well as duration of NS use and infant weight gain. If you want to wear your 316L Surgical Steel jewellery for a long time, make sure to get one without added brass. Rather than assuming that NSs are safe until proven otherwise, healthcare providers should consider NSs an unknown risk and limit their duration of use whenever possible, until further evidence demonstrates their long-term safety. Lactating women generally do not use a breast pump with a NS in place, so any generalizations of this study's findings would be limited if applied in clinical practice.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. e. a few days before the expected date of birth, simply by inserting them between the nipple and the bra. Next, place the shield on your breast, making sure that your nipple and areola fit inside the raised portion of the shield. Older nipple shields were made of latex and harder, thicker plastics, and often caused more problems than they solved. Don’t worry about them shifting – the anatomical shape of the Koala Silver Cups and the presence of the nursing bra will keep them in place.
