Silverette nipple cups

[NotThatKindOfDoctor]

Has anyone used them and are they as good as everyone says?

I had real trouble breastfeeding my other kids but am determined to try again, and apparently they are miracle workers for healing sore nipples?

I’ve read a lot of reviews, they are mostly very positive, but I was wondering if anyone on here had tried them?

Thanks!

Watching with interest! I've not tried them before, but I've heard nothing but great things about them. I've just ordered some actually!

OP, on a side note, I think it's you that is due to have your 4th section? My 4th is scheduled for a week today!

It is me! How are you feeling about it? I spoke with another lady who had her fourth recently and she said it was her easiest one, so fingers crossed for you next week that you feel the same!

Let me know how it goes, and how you get on with the silverette cups

I’ve used them. Absolutely brilliant.

@NotThatKindOfDoctor, yes I will let you know! I'm nervous, but excited to meet baby too, who is quite a wriggler! When is your due date?

These were an absolute Godsend for me. Pricey but worth it. Good luck!

@WobbleTime and @ChocBeforeCock - did you use them alongside anything else (creams etc) or were they sufficient on their own? How quickly did they heal up any problems?

@Somethingsnappy I have another 10 weeks to go (which is just as well because I have nothing sorted yet - I’ve less work on in January so will pretty much baby prep month for me!) This time next week your LO will be here!

I used them on their own, stopped using lansinoh etc. I would say 24-48 hours for a noticeable improvement, took longer to heal totally but started to help very quickly x

Thanks so much @ChocBeforeCock (excellent name by the way). I’ll definitely be taking them to the hospital with me and using from day one.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I used them on their own, no cream or anything right from the first feed (third child) having struggled with very sore cracked nipples with my first 2. They were great at healing any cracks and just seemed to work magic! They look a bit odd but I didn’t care!!

You have to remember to clean them to re-activate the silver though if I remember right - with bicarbonate of soda made into a paste and rubbed on them. Think that’s right anyway - it’s a few years ago now
Hope all goes well for you!

Yup - I used them too and they were great. Squeeze a bit of milk into them first for best results.

They do look odd tho, and vaguely kinky, but hey-ho.

Brilliant, thanks so much everyone.

@Somethingsnappy - good luck for tomorrow, hope everything goes smoothly!

@NotThatKindOfDoctor, thank you very much! I need to be in hospital at 7:30 am. Starting to feel a bit jittery!

I always feel jittery the night before @Somethingsnappy, last time I’m not even sure I did more than nap sporadically all night. It’s exciting that by lunch time tomorrow the op will be done and your baby will be here!

@NotThatKindOfDoctor. Hello again! Just to let you know my little boy was born on Tuesday and everything went very smoothly . The section went more smoothly and quickly than the third with minimal blood loss and the pain afterwards has been easier too. I was so nervous about it but it was totally fine and a really lovely experience. The medical team were amazing too!

Best thing I bought all pregnancy! I still wear them in my bra now and just take off whichever side to feed. Mine are senocare brand from Amazon- recommend them to everyone I know!

Congratulations @Somethingsnappy!!! So glad everything went well. How is your son getting on? Are the other kids over the moon?

Thanks @NWnature, I’d not heard of that brand. Will check them out.
