The early days of breastfeeding can sometimes mean sore, chapped, and cracked nipples which is why Bug & Pickle created a rich lanolin-based Nipple Cream that forms a barrier to help relieve pain that may be associated with breastfeeding.
Why We Love It:
- Nourishing and protective
- Provides relief, sweet relief
- Can also be used on dry or cracked lips or dry cuticles
How to Use:
Starting a few weeks before your due date, prime your nipples (and by nipples we mean the full meal deal – remember, it’s not nipple feeding, it’s breast feeding) by gently applying a light layer over your nipple and areola with clean hands. Continue to use Nipple Cream after your baby’s birth as necessary. Nipple Cream does not need to be removed before a baby nurses, however should the cream appear to effect baby’s nursing then gently remove the cream with a soft cloth prior to nursing.
Note: if you are allergic to wool we suggest you test drive this cream somewhere a little less sensitive than your nipples to make sure you don’t react to it in any way.
Contains:
- 100% natural ingredients
- No synthetic fragrance, colour or preservatives
- Not tested on animals
I had expected breastfeeding to be a breeze and come naturally, so imagine my surprise when it hurt in the beginning and my nipples became cracked and were bleeding. I wanted to continue but I also didn’t want to be in pain, and I remembered you’d had a nipple cream (I used your Belly Cream during pregnancy and no stretch marks!) and I thought it was worth trying. I used it regularly after my daughter breastfed to soothe my nipples and within a week or so she and I both had the hang of breastfeeding and it didn’t hurt anymore!
