Are you a nursing mama? Well, this post is specifically for you! I wanted to share a little about my nursing experience. I was determined to nurse, determined being a true understatement. I was not going to go any other way, but nurse my son. When I delivered my baby, I was looking forward to the perfect latch right after delivery….Well, it didn’t happen. I just could not get the latch right and I was very disappointed, but I kept working with him to find that “perfect latch”. Thank goodness for Lactation Consultants, I worked with mine for almost 1 1/2 months before my baby actually latched on my nipple! I was actually pumping and syringe feeding Hudson until we had success. I was so happy I stuck with it, even through the mastitis the chills, the fever, yuck! But I would never want anything different. Determination pays off and if you stick with it you can do it! That is my background for nursing my baby and I can’t wait to nurse more!

I did encounter a lot of soreness and cracked nipples, especially in the beginning!! It was so uncomfortable, but I found some products that did work for me. I wanted to share some information that I don’t think a lot of nursing moms know about, well maybe they do! I didn’t! The majority of Nipple Creams in the supermarket contain Lanolin which contains several pesticides! Motherlove Nipple Cream does not contain lanolin; or Vitamin E which should not be ingested by infants. According to the Skin Deep toxicology database, Vitamin E is considered a health concern by the Amierican Hospital Formulary Service because it can cause liver dysfunction and is “potentially fatal” to low birth weight babies. Motherlove’s Nipple Cream is a necessity for new moms. I never realized just how sore my nipples would be while nursing, no one ever tells you this might happen! Keep this cream handy in your diaper bag! You can use it before you give birth and use it after! It forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture and keeps nipples hydrated and supple. And for nipples that are already cracked, Motherlove’s Nipple Cream will help spped the healing process and prevent further discomfort. This is one product you will glad to have around, trust me!!!
