Many women, bearing their unborn baby, dream of breastfeeding. Due to unstable environmental conditions, adverse environmental factors, malnutrition and other factors, mother and baby are often left without breastfeeding. But still, the percentage of mothers with a good supply of milk is quite high, and they often have another problem: cracks in the nipples.
There are a number of preventive measures aimed at preventing the formation of cracks. For example, it is advisable to use a nipple cream, which softens delicate skin, preventing the appearance of cracks. Some mothers are very worried, fearing the adverse effect of the constituent elements of these creams on the health of the child. In fact, no worries should arise, because the nipple cream produced by modern manufacturers is completely safe for the baby's health. Any products related to pediatrics are carefully monitored before being put on the market.
The presence of cracks in the nipples gives a lot of trouble, both for mom and baby. In addition to pain, a woman risks introducing the infection into open cracks, which can contribute to the development of mastitis, and in the future, to refusal from breastfeeding. As a rule, a child has to be content with a small volume of milk from a healthy breast. If a woman has both breasts affected, then you have to transfer the baby to mixed feeding with the addition of artificial mixtures until the cracks heal. To accelerate this process, a lanolin-based nipple cream is also used.
Swiss scientists have taken care of the well-being of mothers and their babies by creating a series of medela products. Cream for nipples of this manufacturer incorporates only natural products, which allows you to not interrupt the process
of breastfeeding. Due to its composition, it does not cause allergies, does not contain any preservatives, food additives and aromatic fillers. Swiss-made nipple cream does not need to be washed off immediately before feeding, it softens the skin perfectly and prevents its drying.
The cream can be used not only for the purpose of breast care, it copes with dryness and cracks in any area of the skin and mucous membranes. Our compatriots have been using cream and other Medela products for more than a year. Feedback and experience after application are transmitted to other mothers only in a positive context. That is why, becoming a mother, you need to take care of the health of your breast and your baby. It is important not to give an opportunity to break the connection between mother and child.
In addition to using
nipple cream, you must carefully follow the
rules of personal hygiene: wear cotton underwear, arrange shower stimulation for the influx of milk. The Swiss company Medela recommends regular use of special cotton pads and be sure to lubricate the nipples with cream before or after feeding at least once a day.
Fulfilling the above recommendations, as well as conducting breast massage and gymnastics, each nursing mother will easily protect herself from the problems of breastfeeding.
