Back in 2012, just a year and a bit after we started Earthmother, a lovely Australian customer called Sophie raved about some silver shields that she had bought back home that had worked amazingly well when she had some breastfeeding issues. She said we had to stock them for the mummies of Ireland.
I always listen to recommendations from our customers as they are the ones researching and hearing about the best products for their families. Especially when we hear about products that help with breastfeeding which is something I am soooo passionate about. It's hard to hear of any new mum who wanted to breastfeed but had to give up because things didn't go to plan and the support wasn't there when she needed it. So a product that helps heal soreness and irritation was exactly what we needed!
Earthmother Silver Nursing Cups are simple to use and truly effective. No chemicals or creams are passed to baby through breastfeeding. They are skin friendly, non toxic and extremely hygienic. And they can be preventative as well as protective and healing so if you wear them before any irritation, soreness or cracks occur, you may never have any problems at all.

Mother's milk is the best food for its newborn. The campaign for breastfeeding is being pursued by the Department of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and all organizations involved with the improvement of the health of the mother and the infant.
Mothers know about the advantages of breastfeeding but sometimes worry about or have issues with milk supply.
Lactagogues or galactagogues are special foods, drinks or herbs which people believe can increase a mother's milk supply. In many parts of the Philippines, women take malunggay (Moringa oleifera) leaves in chicken or shellfish soups to help them lactate well. The mechanism of action has not been explained but it was effective as a galactagogue (breast milk supplement) and has been used by generations of nursing mothers especially those with inadequate lactation....

We’ve been asked a lot about cloth nappies by parents and parents-to-be who are curious, fascinated and sometimes amazed that cloth nappies even exist in their current modern form. Yes they do, and they are a million miles away from the old terry squares steeping in a bucket! These days, thanks to modern technology, reusable cloth nappies go on just like disposables, keep your baby dry and protected, they wash and dry really well and look far cuter than their disposable counterparts.
There is a growing population of parents who have done their research and are choosing to use cloth nappies for lots of different reasons – environmental concerns about the amount of disposables they use, financial reasons as cloth nappies are a lot cheaper in the long run, and for general health reasons as cloth nappies don’t contain any chemicals or toxins. It’s a win-win for your pocket and the environment.
Once you start your research you may feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of choice out there and with all of the terminology – it’s like learning a new language! To make it a little easier to get through the jargon, there are some basic things you need to know – there are a few different styles and sizes you can use and there are a few different materials too. After that its just a matter of how many and what colours!!
