How to Use Silver Moon Cups™
Silver nursing cups are designed to provide relief for breastfeeding mothers experiencing sore or cracked nipples. To use them effectively, follow these steps:
-
Application:
- After breastfeeding or pumping, express a few drops of breast milk and spread them over your nipple.
- Place the silver cup directly over the nipple, ensuring it fits comfortably.
- Secure the cup in place with a well-fitting nursing bra.
-
Wearing:
- Keep the cups on between feeding sessions to allow the silver's natural properties to aid in healing.
- It's safe to wear them continuously, including overnight, until discomfort is alleviated.
-
Before Next Feeding:
- Remove the cups prior to breastfeeding or pumping.
- Gently cleanse your nipples with warm water to ensure they're clean for your baby.
-
Cleaning the Cups:
- After each use, rinse the cups with warm water and mild soap.
- Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent any moisture buildup.
Additional Tips:
-
Avoid Creams and Lotions: Refrain from using nipple creams or lotions in conjunction with the silver cups, as they can create a barrier that diminishes the silver's effectiveness.
-
Consult Professionals: If you experience persistent pain or if issues continue, seek guidance from a lactation consultant or healthcare provider.
By following these steps, silver nursing cups can offer a natural and effective solution to support your breastfeeding journey.
