Breastfeeding was really painful for me during the initial weeks. This cream which had a balm like texture helped with my pain instantly. I take a small amount and rub it with my finger tips to warm it up a bit before applying. The best part is you n...
Nipple Savior
Vitamin d does not pass on from mother to baby through breast milk. It's a must have product for baby's wellness. I just put one drop on my nipple before my baby latches on. I think it should be tasteless as the baby doesn't react with or without the...
