Sunday, January 9, 2011 Medela Tender Care HydroGel Pads - 4 pk. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Why is breastfeeding such a mystery? You'd think we'd have figured this stuff out by now. I have a marathon nurser with my second baby. She is a round-the-clock boob-a-holic and my nipples became raw like hamburger. I got loads of bad advice. Everything from limiting nursing (bad advice for my milk supply and baby's weight) to diagnosis with thrush (it wasn't thrush). I had fissures in my nipples. I know. It sounds bad because it is bad. These are deep cracks and a kind of scabbing over them. When the scabs got dried out between feedings, the next time the baby would latch on, she would painfully rip them off. It was eye-watering. I found these gel-pads at Target and when I applied Lansinoh and then these pads over it and kept them in place between feedings, the cracks and fissures began to heal. Thank goodness because I was really starting to question whether I could breastfeed while in that much pain. So if you have scabs and major pain, try these with the Lansinoh for a day or two. I am sure things will improve. Hang in there, mom.
