Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can be very challenging, these products really helped me in my journey!
The first few weeks of breastfeeding can be very painful for your nipples — these were a life saver. Smear them on your nipples in between feedings!

Tip: add your breastmilk in the silverettes, place them on your nipples when you sleep/between feedings and it will magically heal your nipples from soreness!
