บาล์มหัวนม

Three weeks in and the cracked skin finally healed without me dreading every feed. I love that I don't have to wipe it off before she latches, that alone made those 2am sessions so much easier.

The tube lives in my diaper bag, and the fact that I can nurse right after applying without wiping anything off is the only reason I've managed to keep using it. It calmed the burning sting on my left side within a day, and the texture is thick enough to stay put instead of rubbing off on my shirt.

Three days of cracked nipples and I'm finally sleeping without wincing — this stuff actually calms the soreness between feedings. The fact that it's natural and safe for baby means I can just nurse right after applying, which saves me at least five minutes every time my daughter wakes up hungry.
