Empowering Breastfeeding: Koala Babycare Silver Cups Story
Hello Mom,
If you've landed on this post, you're probably on your own personal breastfeeding journey and are looking for inspiration, help, or simply information. I can relate to this so well, as I was in the same situation not too long ago, facing the challenges of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful things in the world, so natural and overwhelming, and yet it can be so difficult at first.
I am not a lactation consultant, but maybe my personal experience with the Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups can help you on your breastfeeding journey too.
I had severe breastfeeding problems with both my sons at the beginning - sore and cracked nipples - and even though there are of course always many factors that can trigger or contribute to the problems, I would have been very happy with my first son if someone had told me about the Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups back then, which bring relief in these difficult early days.
Now, with my second son, I have heard nothing but positive things about these nipple shields. I was a little skeptical, but as my first breastfeeding journey was very difficult, I had ordered the Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups during my pregnancy as a precaution so that I would be better prepared this time. And what can I say: I can wholeheartedly recommend these little helpers!
Now, let's delve into what these Nursing Cups are for:
Koala Babycare Silver Nipple Cups
The solution for protecting and healing sore and cracked nipples during breastfeeding. Made with pure 999 silver (or also with an inner layer of copper for maximum resistance / Trilaminate Silver), these nursing pads harness the natural healing properties of silver to soothe irritation and accelerate the healing process.
Unlike nipple creams, they won't alter the taste or smell of breastmilk, ensuring proper latching for your baby. Comfortable and discreet, they fit all breast shapes perfectly and can be worn underneath clothing without detection.
Plus, they're eco-friendly and reusable, making them a sustainable choice for your breastfeeding journey. Simply apply a drop of breast milk inside the cups, place them on your nipples, and wear them under your bra for comfortable and effective relief. Start using them a few days prior to birth for preventive care.
Personally, I found the most helpful aspect to be the ability to wear a bra without pain, as there was no friction on my irritated, sore, or cracked nipples. Initially, my lactation consultant advised me to leave my breasts exposed to the air for drying. However, since my son was born in winter, staying exposed made me feel cold, and additionally, my nipples dried out excessively. While my lactation consultant suggested this drying process, I found it uncomfortable.
Now with the Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups, I could wear a bra and a shirt without any problems. I put a drop of breast milk in the nipple shields after each breastfeeding, which is also very good for the nipples, and then covered the nipples with it. The milk creates a moist milieu in the nipple shield, which does not dry out the nipples, which worked very well for me.
You have to find out for yourself whether the moisture from the nipple shields or the dry nipples is good for you. For me, it was ultimately a combination: first of all, I wore the nipple shields all day and night long to permanently relieve the pain and so that I could wear clothes. After a few weeks I only used them when I needed them, and in between I let the nipples air dry until my nipples had slowly recovered and I could finally do without the little helpers altogether.
Of course, the Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups are not the solution to all problems, but they bring so much relief and help the nipples to recover quickly, especially at the beginning of the breastfeeding journey.
To all the moms reading this post, first of all: you are doing great! No matter which path your personal breastfeeding journey will take, be proud of yourself because you are doing a great job.
On a breastfeeding journey that is often not so easy, I can absolutely recommend good breastfeeding advice, it's worth its weight in gold. But I can also recommend these Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups as a little helper and I am very happy if I can help one or the other mom with this tip.
Extra tip:
Put the nipple shields in the fridge every time you breastfeed, so you have a very pleasant cooling effect when you use them afterward.
