The Original Silver Nursing Cups 925 Silver Nipple Shields (Large) 🩺

This small, hand‑crafted silver cup is designed to sit over the nipple during breastfeeding to protect sore or cracked skin and help soothe irritation. For mothers seeking a non-cream option, the silver nipple shields for breastfeeding offer a physical barrier that reduces friction and may accelerate comfort while nursing.

Key Points

The cups are made from 925 sterling silver which, according to the manufacturer, meets European safety standards and is suitable for contact with skin. They have a rounded peak to sit lightly around the nipple, avoiding concentrated pressure and helping milk flow when used correctly. Cleaning is straightforward and can be done with simple household ingredients such as baking soda and vinegar, allowing for repeated reuse without complex care routines. 😊

Comfort has been prioritised in the ergonomic shape, which is intended to fit inside most bras and remain discreet when a nursing pad is placed over the cup. Some users find they are helpful from late pregnancy onward to acclimatise the nipple and reduce sensitivity. Consider that silver is a soft metal and may require careful handling to avoid dents or deformation.

Usage Recommendations

Start by expressing a few drops of breast milk into the cup before placing it over the nipple to help create a comfortable seal and maintain lubrication. Place a nursing pad over the cup to help keep it discreet and to reduce milk showing through clothing. Wear a bra to hold the cup and pad in position. If any discomfort or unusual skin reaction occurs, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional. For best fit, check how the rounded peak aligns with your nipple; some mothers may prefer a smaller size or a different shape.

Benefits

Wearing a silver nipple shield can reduce direct friction between skin and fabric, which may help sore nipples heal with less irritation. The metallic surface is naturally antimicrobial according to traditional use of silver, and many users report a cooling sensation that eases tenderness. 😊 The cups are reusable, which can be more economical compared with disposable alternatives and may reduce waste.

A clear limitation to note is fit and personal preference. Not every breast shape or breastfeeding technique will match this large size, and effectiveness depends on correct placement. Also, while the manufacturer states safety for mother and baby, any signs of allergic reaction should be monitored and assessed by a clinician.
