A Bit of History

ABOUT SILVER MAMA®

I’m Tania. I had my first and only son at 45, just a few months after arriving in South Africa in 2020, right as the lockdown had begun. Experiencing motherhood for the first time, I quickly realized how precious—and sometimes challenging—those early feeding moments can be.

One thing surprised me: something so common in Italy was almost unknown here—silver nipple cups. Back home, they are cherished for their natural healing and protective qualities. I couldn’t find them, so I decided to bring them to mothers in South Africa.

I partnered with a skilled artisanal silver workshop in Vicenza, the historic heart of silversmithing in Italy, where the craft has been perfected for centuries. Silver Mama® cups are the original, handcrafted in Italy from pure 925 sterling silver, trusted by mothers, midwives, and lactation consultants —beware of cheap imitations. Every SILVER MAMA®️ cup is handmade with care, designed to soothe, protect, and support you and your baby.

SILVER MAMA®️ is here to care for you, offering gentle protection and support during every precious feeding moment.

A small mom-founded brand, created to nurture and support mothers in every precious feeding moment.
