My Personal Experience with Silverettes as a Breastfeeding Mum
Breastfeeding is a beautiful journey, but it can come with its own set of challenges. As a breastfeeding mom with my first born I experienced sore and cracked nipples, which made the journey quite painful at times. During my second pregnancy I wanted to make sure I was set up for a more enjoyable breasfteeding journey. Fortunately, I discovered Silverettes—small silver nursing cups designed to protect and heal nipples naturally. In this blog post, I’ll share my personal experience using Silverettes and how they became a game-changer in my breastfeeding journey.
I started wearing Silverettes immediately after each breastfeeding session. To my surprise, I didn't experience any nipple pain this time around. The cool, soothing sensation of the silver against my skin provided instant relief, sometimes I even kept them in the fridge for extra relief. Another bonus I love/loved about these little silver cups is that it catches a small amount of milk and sits in the cup against your breast until your next feed, therefore the breastmilk is healing any cracks and sore nipples - because we all know how incredibly healing breastmilk is for everything.
This was my personal journey and made the experience much more enjoyable being pain free. These are an investment but 100% worth it.
Here are some of the benefits to using Silverettes.
- Natural Healing: Silver is known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Silverettes harness these properties to promote natural healing without the need for additional products.
- Comfort: The cups were comfortable to wear and discreet under clothing. They didn’t cause any irritation or discomfort, which was a big plus.
- Ease of Use: Silverettes were easy to clean and maintain. A simple rinse with water was all they needed.
- Cost-Effective: Although the initial investment seemed high, the long-term benefits and elimination of the need for other creams and treatments made Silverettes a cost-effective solution.
