About Me

My photo
God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!

Day 16: Nipple Nurture Balm

When I brought Joey home from the hospital I was 100% dedicated to breast feeding him.  I was doing great at the hospital.  When I got home I started getting sore.  His latch wasn't always good and breaking the latch was even more painful than childbirth.  He would have a death grip on there!  I wanted so much to have those picture perfect moments of nursing my newborn in quiet sleepy moments.  Yeah... I didn't have that very much in the early weeks.  My nipples were hurting.  I was tearful as he nursed as I tried to muscle though less than perfect latches.

I had tried various lanolin nursing creams that were so sticky that putting them on my already sore nipples would cause me to question if there really was a benefit.  Then trying to get that stuff off so that baby could nurse again (an hour or two later) would make me regret using it in the first place.

Fairhaven Health has Nipple Nurture Balm that is made from all natural, organic ingredients and is lanolin free!  It is safe for mom and for baby and only uses natural moisturizers!  It can provide soothing relief, heal affected areas, and even prevent cracks from reappearing.  You can even store it in the refrigerator for a special cooling effect.  I wish that I would have had this on hand for those early weeks with Joey. 


Enjoy those precious first moments with your blessing.  Don't let sore nipples get in the way of bonding with your baby.
