Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural way to bond with your baby—but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Many moms experience painful, cracked, or bleeding nipples during those first weeks. This discomfort can make it difficult to continue your breastfeeding journey.
SILVER MAMA® nursing cups are worn between feeds to soothe and protect sore, cracked or sensitive nipples. They provide a comfortable barrier between the nipple and clothing, helping mothers continue breastfeeding with greater comfort and confidence. Remove the cups before breastfeeding.

Why South African Mothers Choose Silver Mama
who used SILVER MAMA® nursing cups during breastfeeding and pumping.
Die was sooooo goed vir my! Met baba 1 het ek dit nie gehad nie en het gesuffer, maar met baba 2 was die borsvoed journey baie lekkerder.
11 Month postpartum and my SILVER MAMA® cups are still one of the best investments for long/term breastfeeding!
I get it now, I understand the hype around silver shields. These shields have really helped especially during the first few days/weeks after birth. I haven’t even used Lanoli. Yes, it’s pricey, but definitely worth the investment! Your nips will thank you.
Silver Nursing Cups FAQs
What are silver nursing cups?
Silver nursing cups are small, reusable cups worn inside the bra between feeds. They cover the nipple, reduce friction against clothing and provide soothing protection for sore, cracked or sensitive nipples. Remove them before breastfeeding.
Can silver nursing cups help sore or cracked nipples?
SILVER MAMA® cups provide a protective barrier and naturally antimicrobial silver surface between feeds. They can support comfort and nipple care, but persistent pain, bleeding, infection or latch problems should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional or lactation consultant.
What is the difference between the 925 and 999 Silver Mama cups?
The 925 cups are made from certified sterling silver and are designed for durability, long-term use and recycling. The more affordable 999 plated cups have a copper core with two outer layers of 99.9% silver and are intended for short- to medium-term use.
Are silver nursing cups the same as nipple shields?
No. Silver nursing cups are worn between feeds and removed before breastfeeding. Feeding nipple shields are normally worn during breastfeeding to assist with specific latch or feeding problems.
