Review on Medela Breastfeeding Gel Pads, 4 Pack, HydroGel Reusable Soothing Pads, Cooling Relief for Sore Nipples from Pumping or Nursing by Amber Fox

This is a life saver for my first mom. After the boy was born, his grip was not very good and it became very painful to feed him. It got to the point that I was in pain even between feeding sessions. The nurse at the hospital gave me a sample of these hydrogel pads and they gave me such relief that I bought a few more to use at home! Used it for the first 1.5 months. They were a great cooling relief. I could reuse pads and switch to a new pair every few days. Put them under cold water and let them dry (sticky side up) that seems to have helped. Even when the glue wore off, nursing bras tended to keep them in place. A little warning: I gave birth in the winter (in a place where it is very cold and snowing) and sometimes I went outside to release the bitch. Outside. These gel pads will make your skin feel a lot colder when you do this! Because of this, I started taking them off before I went outside! Haha.
