Hey Mamas! If you're planning to breastfeed the first week or so can be tough. Figuring out that latch comes with sore nipples. Although breastfeeding should NOT hurt.... learning how to latch for you and baby can take some time. So here's the little silver shields that can save your nipples during this phase!!
Silverettes to the rescue!!
These are little silver cups that cover your nipples between feedings inside your bra.
I kept seeing them advertised with my 4th and knew how rough that first week or two could be. SO yes, I bought them. No regrets!
Why silver you ask???????????
Did you know humans have been using silver for its healing properties for hundreds of years? Yes, yes we have. Silver naturally fights off bacteria and supports wound healing.
So my very favorite way to use them, you could add nipple cream BUT I love hand expressing good old fashion breastmilk then applying my silverettes straight on top! Breastmilk itself has so manyyyyyyyyy amazing healing properties too! 2 birds, 1 stone. :P Boom. Bam. Healed.
Anyways I wanted to share my number one breastfeeding tool that I absolutely loved!!
What are some of your favorite postpartum tools???
