What Are Silver Nursing Cups? (And What They Are Not)
- Protects clothing from friction
- No creams required
There is often confusion for new moms: Are these cups for the baby to drink from? The answer is no.
Silver nursing cups are pure silver protective covers worn over the nipples between breastfeeding sessions. Think of them as a healing shield. Unlike creams or lotions that need to be wiped off before feeding, silver cups work naturally to create the perfect environment for your skin to recover. For guidance on proper latching techniques to further prevent soreness, we recommend visiting La Leche League International.

The choice of silver is not just for luxury; it’s science. Silver has been used for centuries for its potent medical properties. Here is why it is the ultimate material for nursing care:
- 🛡️ Natural Antibacterial Power: Silver creates an environment where bacteria and fungi cannot thrive. This helps prevent infections like mastitis and thrush while healing open cracks rapidly. It is also crucial to follow the hygiene best practices outlined by the CDC.
- 💧 Maintains Natural Moisture: Unlike breast pads that can dry out your nipples and cause sticking, silver cups keep the nipple in its natural moisture, utilizing a drop of your own breast milk to accelerate healing.
- 🌿 Chemical-Free & Safe: No lotions, no chemicals, no plastic. Just pure silver touching your skin. This means there is nothing harmful to transfer to your baby.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Store Your Silver Cups
Silver is a precious metal that reacts with air. To keep your Go Mommy® Silver Cups shiny and effective, avoid leaving them out in the open air when not in use.
After washing and drying them completely, we recommend storing them in an airtight container or a sealed zip-lock bag. The fabric pouch provided is excellent for carrying them, but for long-term storage, keeping air out prevents tarnishing and maintains hygiene.

Do I need to use nipple cream with silver cups?
No! In fact, using creams can reduce the effectiveness of the silver. The cups work best with just a few drops of your own breast milk. This natural combo creates the perfect healing environment without the sticky mess.
Can I sleep with them on?
Yes, absolutely. Many moms find them essential for protecting nipples from friction against sheets or pajamas. Just make sure to wear a snug nursing bra to keep them securely in place while you rest.
Are Go Mommy® cups safe for my baby?
Yes, they are 100% safe. Our cups are made from pure 925 Sterling Silver and contain no harmful chemicals or nickel. Since you remove the cups before feeding, your baby never comes into direct contact with them, and there is no taste transfer.
How do I clean my silver nursing cups?
It’s simple! Wash them daily with warm water and a tiny bit of mild soap. Rinse well and dry immediately with a soft cloth. If they start to tarnish (which is natural for real silver), you can make a paste with baking soda and water to restore their shine.
Are they one-size-fits-all?
Go Mommy® cups are designed with a universal anatomical shape that fits the vast majority of mothers comfortably. They cover the areola and protect the nipple without compressing the breast tissue, making them suitable for almost all sizes.
