Silverettes are trending everywhere right now—but are they really a must-have breastfeeding product for your hospital bag?
In this episode of The Breastfeeding With Confidence Podcast, Jaimie, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of five, shares her honest hot take on Silverettes. While these little silver nipple covers can support healing, most moms don’t actually need to pack them for the hospital.
What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeJaimie dives into:
-
What Silverettes are and why they’re so popular among new moms
-
Why most women don’t need Silverettes in their hospital bag
-
The problem with cheap knockoff brands that aren’t even real silver
-
How overusing Silverettes can cause maceration (skin breakdown from too much moisture)
-
Why Silverettes are expensive, easy to lose, and not always practical
-
Affordable alternatives for nipple healing, like Motherlove salve, breast milk, and hydrogel pads
-
Why a good latch is more important than any product for preventing nipple pain
At the end of the day—sure, bring Silverettes if you want. But instead of stressing about packing trendy products, Jaimie recommends focusing on:
-
Learning how to support a good latch
-
Fixing latching issues quickly
-
Using simple, effective healing options
Because when you have the right skills and support, you won’t feel like you need to spend hundreds on every product marketed to new moms.
