Breast feeding is a natural process giving baby essential ingredients, comfort and security. Sometimes though, engorgement, blocked ducts and mastitis can create soreness for mother, making feeding difficult for baby.
Breast nurse ™ is a simple home treatment to ease discomfort so that you can focus on enjoying your new baby. Used cool it reduces inflammation and soothes pain. As a warm treatment it allows milk to flow more freely to make breast feeding easier. The cushions contain ThermaPlast ™ a special gel developed to give sustained cooling or warming longer than conventional gels and remain soft straight from the freezer. The cushions slip easily into the nursing bra for a fast, discreet and effective treatment.
Breast nurse ™ has been researched and developed with the help of midwives, breastfeeding advisors and new mothers.
When to use Breast nurse ™
During the breast feeding cycle, uncomfortable breasts are associated with four phases:
Primary engorgement. By the third or fourth day after birth, many mothers experience a difference in their breasts, changing from soft to firm and full. Pain is caused by the natural increase in the blood supply and fluid in the breast tissue, which create heat and hardness. This is a temporary condition and tension will pass after 24-48 hours, especially if baby feeds frequently after birth.
Use cool to act as an anti-inflammatory aid to soothe the breast, especially after a feed.
Blocked ducts. Sometimes one or more of the ducts can become blocked and can create a lump where milk is prevented from flowing through.
Use warm, prior to the feed, to help dilate the milk ducts and allow the milk to flow more freely.
Mastitis. Milk from a blocked duct may leak into the breast tissue. The body's natural reaction is to increase blood supply, which produces inflammation and redness.
Try alternating with a warm and cool pack; warm before a feed and cool after to soothe and help reduce inflammation (seek advice from your doctor, midwife or breastfeeding advisor if symptoms persist).
Weaning. Because rapid weaning can lead to more milk being produced than is actually required, breasts can become full and hard.
Use the pack warm to encourage a small amount of milk to leak from the breasts or cool to relieve soreness and reduce swelling
