Breast Pads

New moms know that breast pads are an accessory that heretofore they probably have not given much thought to. After all, when perusing the literature that deals with breastfeeding, the most pressing issue seems to be the proper latching on technique as well as how to pump your milk and keep it fresh while at work. Thus many a bleary eyed mom has found herself in the harshly lit aisles of a baby supply store, wearily perusing the various breast pads that were said to provide relief for the unsightly stains that seem to spread without warning from leaking breasts.

Take for example the favorite pads recommended by moms who had surgery: Lansinoh breast pads. Lansinoh breast pads have been hailed as one of the best brand of breast pads on the market, and nursing moms report that they like the fact that these disposable breast pads seem to mold themselves naturally around their nipples. At the same time, wearing this kind of breast pad wicks moisture away from the nipple area and thus decreases the painful soreness that is brought on by excessive moisture in that area.

While special surgery breast pads are available for those who delivered by c-section, the fact that these after-surgery washable breast pads are reusable has some moms chose after-surgery wool breast pads. Once they return home from the hospital, they will look for wool breast pads in the natural health section of the big health food stores or on the Internet. Mothers claim that in spite of the wool, wearing these breast feeding pads actually does not heat the breasts unduly and instead provides only enough heat to stop the milk flow.

Other breast pads on the market are the Air-Laid breast pad with a fluff core which seeks to absorb the mild in this manner, the Lilly Padz breast pads which are washable and self sticking, and the British – online you can read a review - boots breast pads. No matter which breasts pad you choose for yourself, go online and find a site with a forum where moms discuss the various pads they might have tried. You will find some who favor washable breast pads, wool breast pads or the simple disposable kinds, but the reasoning behind their choices will most likely help you to pick well for yourself without having to simply rely on the back of the pack for information.
