I’m not one for buying a lot of STUFF. All the products listed have been purchased and found useful, I would not recommend them otherwise.
Products for managing pain
Pain is the main reason why mothers stop breastfeeding. For treating sore nipples and engorgement -click for Lansinoh Gel nipple pads, click for Ameda Gel nipple pads
Products for babies’ better sleep
For babies to settle, self sooth and go back to sleep – click for Love to dream cotton swaddle a light-weight swaddle particularly suitable for warm weather. Heavier-weight versions are also available. After trying out 3 different types of swaddles which didn’t work, my grandson loved this!
Sleep devices play a variety of white noise send babies to sleep without fuss, and also soothes them when they wake at night – click for Sleep sheep. Not too expensive, and well worth it if you ask me.
