Silver Nip Cups
In hot weather, it’s completely normal for your baby to want to feed more often they’re likely feeling more thirsty just like us. Don’t worry, your breast milk naturally adjusts to become more hydrating while still providing all the same essential nutrients and benefits. With this being said increased feeding could lead to sore or cracked nipples and the heat and sweat can often exacerbate this.
The Pippeta silver nip cups are designed to to heal sore nips, preventing and treating inflamed, chaffed or sensitive nipples. How do they work? Silver is a natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antimicrobial metal. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so using them on your nipples between feeds supports healing and prevents infection.
Top tip! by placing a small drop of breastmilk inside the nip cups before wearing them, you create a moist environment that promotes faster wound healing, while the silver works its magic to protect against bacteria and irritation. (Be sure to follow our online guide for the correct fit)
