If you are new to breastfeeding, you may or most definitely will experience engorgement at some point. Booby Tubes™ are a safe, gel-free breast pack designed especially to help ease the common discomforts experienced by nursing mamas.
Store Booby Tubes™ in the freezer and wear them inside your bra between feedings to help:
- reduce the swelling and tenderness of engorgement
- comfort breasts during weaning
|
About 5 minutes before each feeding, warm them in the microwave for approximately 20-40 seconds. When heated, Booby TubesTM safely deliver warm moist heat to tender, engorged breasts to:
- encourage milk flow
- maintain open milk ducts to prevent clogged ducts
- encourage "let-down"
- aid in the healing of infection or mastitis
- gel-free construction reduces the risk of burns to tender, engorged breasts
|
These reusable gel-free packs are now made with a 100% organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed.
Here are other suggestions help avoid breast engorgement
- 1. Express or pump your breasts if you miss a feeding or if your baby doesn’t nurse long enough to soften both breasts.
- 2. Avoid supplementing your breast milk with water or formula.
- 3. Breastfeed your Angel Baby frequently and for an unrestricted amount of time.
- 4. Massage your milk ducts in a circular motion around each breast before nursing.
- 5. Spend some time on your back. This will place your breasts higher than your heart and encourage drainage of swollen breasts.
(Engorgement can sometimes be confused with mastitis. If symptoms of mastitis are present such as malaise, fever, hardness or redness, continue nursing and consult your health care provider immediately.)
*Made in the USA in a fair trade factory. Test the Booby Tubes on the inside of your forearm before applying to your best to ensure the temperature is comfortable. |
