They don't always share everything about breastfeeding, and here's a little secret: your nipples can take quite a beating during this beautiful but sometimes tricky journey with your baby. At New Beginnings, we offer a range of reliable breast care solutions to enhance your experience during this phase of motherhood. We're here to make it as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.  (Check out some other facts you never knew about breastfeeding.) 

Let's talk about breastfeeding accessories – because let's face it, every breastfeeding journey is a unique adventure. What works wonders for one mum might not be the perfect fit for another. But fear not, we're here to spill the beans on some commonly recommended breastfeeding accessories that many mums have found to be real game-changers:

Nursing Bras: These superheroes are designed for quick and easy access during breastfeeding. Plus, nursing and maternity bras provide the comfort and support you need during your pregnancy and breastfeeding adventure.

Nursing Pads: No one wants embarrassing leaks. That's where disposable or reuseable nursing pads swoop in to save the day – keeping your clothes dry and your confidence intact.

Breast Pumps: For those moments when direct breastfeeding isn't an option (hello, busy life), a breast pump is your trusty sidekick. It lets you express and store that liquid gold for your little one.

Nursing Pillow: Think of this as your cosy breastfeeding command centre. It not only supports your baby but also makes sure you're comfy during those marathon feeding sessions.

Nipple Shields: Sore or sensitive nipples? Nipple shields to the rescue! They're like a gentle hug for your breastfeeding journey, helping with latching issues and providing protection.

Aqual Gel Pads: Cracked nipples from the demands of breastfeeding? The cooling action of Aqua Gel Pads delivers instant relief while gently shielding your nipples, helping you return to the joys of breastfeeding in no time.

Hot and Cold Packs: Designed to provide both heat and cooling therapy during breastfeeding, Hot and Cold packs are your secret weapon for promoting healthy milk expression, encouraging a smooth let-down, and safeguarding against the discomfort of engorgement and the risk of mastitis.

Breastfeeding Resources: Books, online guides, and apps are your knowledge buddies. They offer tips, tricks, and a reassuring pat on the back when you need it most.

Breastfeeding Apps: These nifty little apps are like having a personal breastfeeding assistant in your pocket. They track feeding sessions, keep an eye on your milk supply, and provide tips and reminders – all with a simple tap on your phone.

What is the purpose of a nipple shield?

The Silicone Nipple Shield is a versatile breastfeeding accessory designed to enhance comfort and ease. It provides pain-free breastfeeding by creating a protective barrier, aids in latching, especially if it's been a challenging time, and offers discreet comfort during nursing. Additionally, it's beneficial for mothers with inverted or flat nipples and can help expedite a return to breastfeeding even after initial difficulties.


Do gel pads help with sore or cracked nipples?

Gel pads can be very helpful for sore or cracked nipples during breastfeeding. Aqua Gel Pads, in particular, offer quick and effective relief. These gel pads are designed to provide instant soothing relief, making them a great solution for sore or cracked nipples. They are suitable for sensitive skin and are sterile, ensuring a hygienic and hassle-free way to alleviate the discomfort of cracked nipples between feeds.

When should I do breast therapy for breastfeeding?

Our Hot+Cold Packs offer versatile solutions for breastfeeding discomfort in two distinct ways:

Heat Therapy: When you need to encourage milk flow or alleviate mastitis symptoms, these packs can be heated for warmth. This gentle heat aids in promoting milk flow and soothing the discomfort associated with mastitis.

Cold Therapy: For engorged breasts or general discomfort and swelling, these packs can be cooled in the freezer. The cooling effect helps reduce engorgement and provides relief from discomfort and swelling.

What's even more convenient is that the colour of the pads changes to indicate their temperature status. When heated, the pads turn white, and when cooled, they turn purple. This visual cue makes it easy to know when it's time to reheat or return them to the freezer, ensuring you always have the right temperature for your specific needs.
