Bebecom Breast Pads, 48 Pieces

Disposable nursing pads sit inside the bra and absorb milk that leaks between feeds, which is normal and often unpredictable in the early weeks. They save a great deal of laundry and awkwardness at a point when there is enough else going on.

The one thing worth knowing is to change them often. A damp pad held against the skin is one of the more common causes of soreness and thrush while breastfeeding, so change at every feed rather than waiting until a pad is saturated.

Benefits

• Leaking between feeds is normal in the early weeks, and pads make it manageable
• Change at every feed rather than when saturated. Damp against the skin causes soreness
• 48 per pack goes quickly in the first weeks, so buy more than one
• Keep a few in your bag. Leaking rarely happens at a convenient moment
• Leaking generally settles as supply regulates over the first weeks

How to Use

• Place a pad inside the bra with the absorbent side against the skin
• Change at every feed, or sooner if the pad becomes damp
• Use each pad once and dispose of it in the bin

• Speak to a midwife or doctor about persistent soreness, cracking, or pain during feeds
