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

Product Information

If a nipple shield is not recommended, they’ll help you find a solution so you can continue with breastfeeding. Once your baby gets the hang of latching on — or your nipples heal — try feeding without the shield.

The sample size of mothers from which these case studies were drawn was not reported, and it is likely that this chart review may be biased towards a very small subset of mothers.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. The total diameter of this nipple shield is 30mm and it is mounted onto a 316L surgical stainless steel barbell.

While it is emphasized that the early phase of exclusive breastfeeding with an NS is possible to maintain, the lack of data on duration and experience of breastfeeding beyond this time point limit their claim that mothers can provide adequate breastmilk for their infants in the long term. Your baby’s latch refers to how their mouth attaches to your nipple and areola during breastfeeding. Before weaning from breastfeeding because it's too uncomfortable, try working with a lactation consultant to utilize nipple shields and help ensure your baby is latching properly. Speak with your pediatrician and a lactation consultant to develop an individualized strategy that is best for you and your baby. It's important to always use nipple shields for nursing under the care and advise of a board-certified lactation consultant.You stop using a nipple shield when your baby gets better at nursing and the breastfeeding issues resolve. 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. In fact, it has been found that in the presence of moisture, it releases substances that have an antibacterial, disinfectant and healing action.
