Breastfeeding is a beautiful and fascinating time in a mother’s life. Breastfeeding is an art, a unique bonding experience between mother and baby. Sometimes, this experience is accompanied by small problems that can cause pain and tenderness of the nipples. Suffering from nipple fissures is quite common and it is a problem that should not be underestimated both to prevent other problems such as engorgement or mastitis, and to avoid stopping breastfeeding prematurely. Silver offers excellent antibacterial properties. Higher is the purity of the Silver, greater its effectiveness. This is why PUR 999® nipple shields are made of 999 ‰ Silver, the highest degree of purity available on the market.
