Organic Wool Nursing Pads

Description

WeeCare wool nursing pads are made from 100% merino wool – organiccally certified by GOTS. Nursing pads of wool are really good to use if you want a warming nursing pad made of 100% natural materials that will let your skin breathe.

The wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight without feeling wet, and is therefore well suited as a nursing pad for you who leak a little or moderately. If you leak a lot, the wool pad may not enough on its own. But if you want to avoid waterproof plastic backing in your nursing pad, then it can be a really good idea to use the wool nursing pads in combination with a bamboo nursing pad to absorb most of the breast milk. Thereby, the wool will act as the water-repellent “backing” and you have a bullet-proof nursing pad that can hold most things inside. Our bamboo nursing pads can also be used alone.

Which nursing pads should you choose?
As a future mom, you have no idea how much you are going to leak. Therefore, it may be a good idea to have different types of Nursin Pads to try them out. Your needs may also change along the way in the breastfeeding process. E.g. it may be necessary to use a wool pad + bamboo pad in the beginning if you leak a lot, and later it may be enough to only use a bamboo pad or just the wool pad..

Our breastfeeding pads in wool and our breastfeeding pads in bamboo can be used individually or together:

• Nursing Pads in wool: For you who want 100% natural materials and 100% breathability for the skin. The wool nursing pad also warms the breast and prevents mastitis. Is also really good to use if you have already got mastitis or it is beginning! The wool also has an antibacterial effect, especially if you give it a treatment with pure lanolin.
• Bamboo nursing pads: Bamboo nursing pads are also for you who want natural materials and breathability for the skin, but who want the softest material possible directly against the skin. Our bamboo velor on these nursing pads is one of the softest fabrics you can imagine!!! And if you only leak a little, they may be just fine, but be aware, that this nursing pad has no definite waterproof or water-repellent backing!
• A combination of wool and bamboo: For you who leak a lot and where it runs too fast through to the clothes using either pure wool or pure bamboo inserts. A “bullet-proof” solution which sucks really well and holds tight. Be aware that this solution takes up some more space under the clothes. We recommend using a bamboo insert in one size smaller than the wool dusting insert, so that the wool nursing insert can cover a little over the edge all the way around.
• If you wish to avoid wool, our newest nursing pads with waterproof backing is a better choice!

Tip: If you get cracks / wounds on the nipples, then WeeCare Lanolin Ointment is REALLY good at helping the skin to heal, and at the same time it keeps the wound moist so that a hard scab does not form. It really hurts when your baby “sucks” a hard crust of the nipple when you have to breastfeed!
We can also recommend a mini wetbag for storing used inserts until they need to be washed.
