- To protect your bras, always wash in a lingerie bag
- Remember to wash them on delicate cycle
- To keep your bra from stretching out too soon, hang them to dry
- When you are lactating you don't want your bra to compress your breast which can lead to clogged ducts which can result in Mastitis

The Hug by Belmama and Cherub
Friday, October 14, 2011
Are you planning on breastfeeding your baby? If so, you won't want to be without this wrap garment! This is an ultra soft wrap that is velcroed together and fits around the breasts like it's "hugging" you. When you get in the shower with it on, it creates a warm compress on your aching breasts when the shower water hits The Hug. It's great for relieving engorgement, sore nipples, and more!
Many women experience pain in the first few weeks of breastfeeding and sometimes longer! Moms will tend to give up breast feeding because it's too painful! If baby is latched on correctly, you should not have pain... If pain and open soars continue please consult your doctor or lactation nurse.

Save the Ta-Tas from Broken Nipples!
Sunday, October 9, 2011
For first time moms it usually takes 2-3 days for your milk supply to come in. For 2nd, 3rd and beyond moms, it generally comes in much quicker. Veteran moms, don't forget to bring your breast pads with you to the hospital! You may need them!
It's a good idea to use nipple cream. This creates a barrier between your nipple and pad. There are several nipple creams out on the market today. Make sure you read the label for directions on whether it's necessary to wipe the cream off before feeding your baby. If your nipples are cracked, the last thing you'll want to do is use a washcloth to wipe your nipples clean of cream! The product we like and sell is by Medela called Lanolin: http://www.bellyhaven.com/Medela_Tnder_Care_Lanolin_p/med87122.htm
One thing I wished someone had told me, and I had to find this out on my own - the hard way! Early on, instead of putting your breast pad inside your bra, apply breast cream to your nipple as well as the center of your breast pad. This will keep your dried breastmilk from sticking to your nipple and the pad. You will have an easy time taking the pad off your breast to nurse without painful pulling.
Nursing your baby can and should be an enjoyeable expereience for both you and your baby. If you have any trouble, don't wait, get help immediately! Call your local hospital or lacation specialists in your area.
