The Koala Silver Cups are a product designed by Koala Babycare to help mothers prevent and treat breast fissures during breastfeeding. These cups are made of 999 pure silver and are intended to provide a comfortable and effective solution for a common issue faced by new mothers.
Function Description:
The primary function of Koala Silver Cups is to protect the nipples from external agents and bacteria, and to promote healing of breast fissures. Silver is known for its healing, antibacterial, and disinfectant properties. When the silver cups come into contact with moisture (such as breast milk or water), they release these beneficial properties, allowing the skin to heal and self-cure without the need for additional creams or products. The cups are designed to adhere perfectly to the breast, creating a protective barrier against rubbing from clothing or other external factors that can exacerbate fissures. They are also thin and discreet, ensuring they are not noticeable when worn.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Material: The Koala Silver Cups are made from 999 pure silver. This high purity ensures that they are nickel-free and do not release any substances harmful to the baby. It also means they do not alter the taste of the milk, which is crucial for breastfeeding mothers.
- Safety: The product is nickel-free, making it safe for both mother and baby.
- Durability: If properly stored, the cups can be reused for future pregnancies, offering an ecological and economic alternative to disposable products.
- No Expiry Date: Provided all guidelines for preservation are followed, the product has no expiry date.
Usage Features:
- Preparation for First Use: Before the first use, and after each subsequent use, the cups should be washed with warm water and a neutral, odorless soap. They should then be rinsed thoroughly and dried with a clean cloth.
- Application: The cups are inserted between the breast and the bra, positioning them directly on the nipples.
- During Breastfeeding: When it's time to breastfeed, the cups should be gently removed, and the breast rinsed with warm water.
- After Breastfeeding: To ensure the cup adheres perfectly to the breast, a drop of milk or water should be applied to the inside of the cup before re-applying it.
- Prevention: Koala Babycare suggests starting to use the silver cups 7 to 10 days before giving birth as a preventive measure against fissures.
- Addressing Painful Fissures: If fissures are already very painful, it is recommended to let the baby feed from the less painful breast first. This allows the baby to satisfy their initial hunger on the less sensitive side, making the feeding on the more painful breast smoother.
- Post-Feeding Care: After each feeding, massaging the nipple and areola with a few drops of breast milk can help moisturize the skin and aid in healing due to milk's beneficial substances.
- Air Exposure: When at home, leaving the breast uncovered as much as possible is advised to allow air exposure, which can help the skin feel better and promote healing.
- Milk Leakage: If there is an abundant amount of milk leakage, a soft cup can be used between the Koala Silver Cups and the bra to manage it.
- Important Warnings:
- Discontinue use immediately if any specific silver allergies or allergic manifestations are observed.
- The cups should be used only and exclusively on the area around the nipple.
- Improper use or storage can compromise the product's properties.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Cleaning: Due to silver's disinfectant properties, extensive cleaning products or efforts are not required. A simple rinse in warm water (with an optional drop of neutral soap) after each use, followed by drying with a cotton cloth, is sufficient.
- Deep Cleaning (for blackening): Over time, silver may blacken. This is normal and can be addressed by dipping the cups in a bowl of hot water with baking soda (50 grams per liter) and letting them soak for a while. If stains persist, users can contact Koala Babycare via email at info@koalababycare.com.
- Storage: After washing, the cups should be placed back in their original packaging and box. They should be stored in a cool, dry, and clean place, away from heat or direct sunlight.
- Protection from Oxidation: It is recommended to keep all original packaging during use. If the packaging is lost or discarded, the cups should be stored inside a clean cloth to prevent contact with air and exposure to light, which can cause oxidation.
