How do Silver Nursing Cups work?
Silver has been used as a topical antimicrobial agent for hundreds of years in wound care. Even today dressings with silver nanoparticles are used to heal severe wounds. Studies have shown that Silver ions have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties.
SilverNurture nursing cups are designed in such a manner that when they touch the skin, they provide a healing and soothing effect during any phase of breastfeeding journey. Silver Nursing Cups have been dermatologically tested by an independent FDA approved lab for safe human use.
Why do mothers prefer Silver Nursing Cups?
Soreness and skin irritation is a very common problem during breastfeeding journey, which can also result in latching issues. Creams or homemade remedies are frequently used but they don’t provide healing, especially in early days because a mother has to breastfeed almost every 2-3 hours. This limits the effectiveness of creams and ointments. Also, another major reason for sustained pain is friction that exists between the fabric of the bra or any other cloth and the nipples.
Having a protective layer of Silver Nursing Cups helps greatly in avoiding this pain.
