Lanolin and Hydrogel Pads

Breastfeeding mothers often experience a couple days or weeks dealing with sore nipples. Most mothers who have breastfed can agree that it takes a couple days or weeks until it heals and gets better.

For those who suffer with sore nipples can ease the pain a bit by using "Lanolin" cream. The cream is applied to the nipples which soothes it and makes breastfeeding a bit more bare able. Lanolin is also safe for baby so there is no need to wipe or clean it off before each feed.


Aside from using this cream, there is also something called "Hydrogel Pads" which are soothing pads you apply to the breast. It soothes by gentle cooling sensations and also heals the nipples from any blisters, sore and pain. These gels offer great relief for a nursing mother. Using this pads cannot be used with Lanolin- you use either one. Both offer great pain relief and is highly recommended to soothe sore nipples.
