Medela's hydrogel pads provide instant relief for sore nipples, leaning against the skin as a protective and refreshing pillow. They help the recovery process, providing hydration and keeping the skin smooth. Reusable for 24 hours.

Instructions for use (In the following link you will find instructions for hydrogel pads.)

Hydrogel pads are intended for single use as breast protectors with a calming effect for nursing mothers.
Wash your hands before using the product.
• Open the bag.
• Remove the gel pad from the plastic liner.
• Gently place the gel pad over your nipple.
• Do not use if the package is open or damaged.
• Before breastfeeding, remove the gel pad.
• Place it on a clean surface.
• Wash the breast gently with warm water and dry it.
• Then start breastfeeding.
• After breastfeeding, apply the gel pad again.

Do not use soaps or detergents to clean the cushion

• Store the gel pads in a cool, dry place

• For a more refreshing feeling, the gel pads can be stored in the refrigerator

• Reusable for 24 hours

• If the gel pads become stained or cloudy, discard them and use new ones.

Optional: To increase the calming effect, quickly pass the gel side of the pillow under a stream of cold water (1–2 seconds), shake off excess water and set aside for 2 minutes. Do not rinse more than twice a day.

Special protective measures:

• Use only as directed

• Keep out of the reach of children, especially the plastic liner

• You must take special care when using cracked nipples or in case of yeast infection

• If your nipples are cracked, bleeding or have a burning sensation, contact your lactation consultant or doctor

• To avoid nipple pain, it is important for the baby to hold the mother's breast in the correct position.

Nipple care for nursing mothers

Although breastfeeding is beneficial for you and your baby, it can be hard on your nipples! Read our nipple care advice and tips to help keep pain at bay.

"Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt" is a mantra that new mothers often hear. But many end up discovering that the reality is quite different in the early days.

First, during pregnancy most women's nipples become larger and more sensitive. And when your newborn starts to suckle, it creates pressure and suction like you've never felt before (well, at least if you're a mother for the first time).

Breastfeeding sessions can also take a long time - sometimes up to an hour - and your baby can breastfeed up to 13 times a day.1 All this new sucking, pressure and saliva can give rise to sore nipples.

Imagine the lips that are sore or cracked due to the wind or the sun. The more you moisten them by licking them, the more dry and damaged they become. So moisturize them to soothe and protect them and help heal. It is the same with your nipples.

However, the pain will disappear, as you and your baby get used to breastfeeding during the first weeks. Addressing problems quickly is essential to avoid further damage. So if your nipples are cracked, start bleeding or are unbearably painful, talk to a breastfeeding consultant or breastfeeding specialist as soon as you can.2

However, prevention is the best medicine. So, read these my tips for solving problems.

Check how your baby bites the breast
The key to painless breastfeeding is for the baby to get a good grip. When your baby is mouthing the breast, direct the nipple to the roof of the baby's mouth. This will help you to grasp the nipple, as well as part of the areola (the circle of darker skin around the nipple) beneath it. Having both the nipple and some breast tissue in your mouth, like here, will help you breastfeed properly.3

Ask a breastfeeding consultant or specialist nurse to check how your baby grasps the breast in the first few days. They will advise you on how to overcome any problem and may suggest alternative breastfeeding positions to help you breastfeed your baby with as little pain as possible.

Note the stuck tongue or short tongue brake
The stuck tongue (ankyloglossia) affects 4 to 11% of newborns.4 It means that the strip of skin that connects the tongue to the back of the mouth, called the lingual brake, is too short. A baby with a stuck tongue may not be able to open its mouth wide enough to get a big mouthful and the tongue probably won't be able to cover the lower gums when making the suction movement. The result can be sore nipples for you and frustration for him.

Your baby needs to be evaluated by a health professional, a breastfeeding consultant or a specialist nurse to confirm that he / she has the tongue stuck. If necessary, it can be treated with a simple procedure called cutting the tongue brake (lingual frenectomy). Performed by a health professional, it usually does not require anesthesia and can help solve breastfeeding problems immediately.5

There is a similar but rarer condition, called a stuck lip or short labial brake, in which the brake connecting the upper lip to the upper gum is too short. Tucked tongues and stuck lips are not always detected in neonatal examinations, so if you think that one of these cases may be causing your nipple pain, seek advice quickly.4

Tips on nipple care while breastfeeding

Wash the breast with water only when bathing or showering. The small tops (Montgomery glands) in your areola produce an oil that moisturizes and protects your nipples. Soap and shower gel can eliminate this natural oil, causing dryness and irritation.6
Allow your nipples to air dry or gently wipe with a towel. It was customary to tell women to rub their nipples to tighten them, but that is no longer advisable. Fortunately!
It is not necessary to wash the breast or nipples before breastfeeding. In fact, bacteria on the surface of your breast can help develop your baby's intestinal microbiome.7
Fresh human milk can help heal damaged nipples, 8 so try massaging them with a few drops before and after breastfeeding.
Change breast protectors frequently if they become moist, to reduce the risk of bacterial or fungal infections, including breast candidiasis.6
Avoid increasing the intervals between breastfeeding sessions to "rest" your nipples. Your baby needs to breastfeed on demand to stay healthy and grow well. Remember that frequent breastfeeding develops and maintains your milk production, so continue to breastfeed, even with some pain.9

Useful products for nipple care
Ultra pure lanolin nipple cream - a natural product obtained from sheep's wool. Moisturizes and helps in recovery. It is harmless for your baby, so it does not need to be washed before breastfeeding.
Hydrogel pads can be placed on sore nipples for immediate relief from breastfeeding pain, as well as to create the ideal conditions for recovery. You can even store them in the fridge for refreshing comfort.
The nipple protectors fit inside your bra. They are great for preventing clothing from rubbing against sore nipples and have holes for air to reach the nipples and help heal.
Breastfeeding bras made of breathable material like cotton, or fabric that dries quickly and removes moisture from damaged nipples.
Silicone nipples are silicone covers that fit over your nipples, with small holes for milk to flow when breastfeeding. They protect the skin underneath and can give the baby who bites the breast weakly something firmer to grip. In general, silicone nipples should be considered a short-term solution. If you have problems or feel pain, consult your breastfeeding consultant or breastfeeding specialist.

When to see a doctor
When your baby and your nipples are used to breastfeeding, it shouldn't hurt. It is worth repeating that the main cause for sore nipples is the incorrect grip. If a breastfeeding specialist has failed to resolve your sore nipples problem, try another and another if necessary.

If your nipple pain persists or you notice unusual symptoms, see a breastfeeding consultant or specialist nurse. White spots or flaking skin can be a sign of breast candidiasis, whitish or bluish nipples can be caused by a circulatory disorder such as Raynaud's disease (vasospasm) and hot pus or redness are signs of infection.2
