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

Product Information

Participants were randomized into two groups: the Silver Cap group (20 women; group A) or the control group (20 women; Group B, standard of breastfeeding care). If your baby is struggling with breastfeeding and nothing else has worked, your lactation consultant may recommend a nipple shield.

Nipple shields might be the glue that keeps you and your baby attached, at least during those difficult early weeks.

Although the study concluded that infant weight gain is not affected by NS use, it did not address the effect of NS use on maternal milk supply.

Latching to the mother’s breast often leads to the formation of small lesions that should not be underestimated: fissures can also lead to bleeding and the pain can be so intense that it is impossible to breastfeed. As we mentioned earlier, 316L Surgical Steel with brass used as a second material is very sensitive to discolouration. This interesting study supports the other two studies above that found a decrease in milk transfer with the NS. By the second half of the 20 th century, NSs were routinely made from rubber, followed by thin latex and silicone in the last 3 decades. To care for your Koala Silver Cups simply rinse them with lukewarm water and a little neutral soap: the antibacterial properties of silver mean that there is no need for disinfectant.

Surgical Steel is the official name for a combination of metals creating this type of surgical stainless steel. For the majority of infants in these studies, infant weight gain was not a problem during NS use, although in general the studies did not report the amount of bottle feeding with expressed breastmilk or formula. Nipple shields have a base that wraps around your areola (skin around your nipple) with a cone-shaped area for your nipple. For example, if you have sore nipples you may want to try hydrogel pads or breast shells first, as well as seeking further lactation support. In a private practice setting, Bodley and Powers 9 conducted a chart review among 10 women who were given a thin silicone NS 1–18 days postpartum for sore nipples and latch difficulties.Start off their feedings using the nipple shield, and at some point during the feeding, quickly remove it. Comparing duration of NS use with duration of breastfeeding can be misleading when breastfeeding is not defined. NSs are often introduced to new mothers in the hospital for flat nipples or failure of the infant to latch within the first 2 days postpartum. Most times, such colourful Piercing Jewellery is produced of 316L Surgical Steel and covered with a thin plating of another material that adds the colour.
