Although new mothers are often told that breastfeeding shouldn't hurt, in reality it can take some time for your nipples to get used to the frequency and length of your newborn's breastfeeding sessions. This, combined with all the hormonal changes happening in your body in the days right after birth, means you can end up with tender or sore nipples. Hydrogel pads can help by offering immediate, soothing and cooling relief from nipple pain. They can also stop your nipples from rubbing against your clothes and support the healing process if your skin is damaged.
How do hydrogel pads work?
Medela hydrogel pads are specially designed with a protective pad that has a cooling effect on contact with the skin and supports recovery. They are large enough to cover your nipple and areola (the darker skin around the nipple), both of which can be affected by pain.
To use the hydrogel pads, follow these simple steps:
- First, wash your hands, then open the bag and remove the hydrogel pad from the plastic liner.
- Carefully place the gel side of the pad directly over the nipple.
- When you need to breastfeed your baby, simply remove the hydrogel pad and place it on a clean surface.
- Afterwards, gently wash the breast with warm water and pat dry before breastfeeding.
- When finished, put the gel pad back on with clean hands.
