Livella silver nursing cups are used to protect and heal sore nipples during breastfeeding. Made of pure silver, they have antibacterial and healing properties. To maintain their effectiveness, they should be cleaned regularly. Here's how to care for them:
1. Regular Cleaning:
- Daily Cleaning: Wash the silver cups daily with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh cleaning products or chemicals that can damage the silver.
- Rinse: After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.
2. Polishing:
- Silver can tarnish, which is normal. If a dark patina appears on the silver cups, gently wipe it off with a soft cloth. Avoid using silver polish, as it may be too harsh, especially since the cups come into contact with your skin and baby.
3. Sterilization:
- Avoid Boiling: Since silver is a soft metal, do not place the cups in boiling water. It’s enough to clean them thoroughly with water and soap after each use.
- Alcohol or Disinfectants: Do not use alcohol-based solutions or disinfectants, as these can damage the silver.
4. Storage:
- When not in use, store the silver cups in a clean, dry place. Avoid moisture, as it can accelerate silver tarnishing.
By regularly caring for your silver nursing cups, you can ensure they last a long time and remain effective in protecting your nipples during breastfeeding.

FAQ
The silver caps protect your sensitive nipples during breastfeeding breaks by creating a vacuum around the nipples, ensuring that nothing rubs or presses during this time.
As mentioned in the video by our co-founder Marina, the silver caps are one of the most valuable investments for all moms who want to breastfeed. Our nipples are already very sensitive, and breastfeeding leads to extreme stress, whether it’s your first time or you are breastfeeding your second, third, or fourth child. You will not regret this purchase because it will help you so much and also relieve pain.
Yes, the silver caps are super robust, durable, and easy to care for. You can use them for all your children.
The silver caps are very easy to care for. You simply rinse them with clear, hot water and that's it.
Yes, the silver caps are designed to provide enough space for any size of nipple.
The glands in the nipples produce a special secretion that stimulates the baby's rooting reflex. The scent of the secretion resembles the smell of amniotic fluid and helps the baby find the nipple and the correct sucking position. Creams or similar products can interfere with this scent. However, there are nipple care products that are odorless, such as the Nip & Lip Balm by Mama Matters, which feels pleasant on the skin and does not need to be wiped off when your child is nursing. In general, though, if the nipples are really sore because they are inflamed, you don't want to rub them unnecessarily. A drop of breast milk in a silver nipple shield can work wonders and naturally promote healing.
