Nursing Breast pads can help a mom stay dry and comfortable if she experiences leaking pregnancy in pregnancy or during breastfeeding. This leaking can be due to breast milk or colostrum. Using the wrong breast pads can cause sore nipples, particularly if the nipples stay too moist. You can use disposable nursing pads or washable nursing pads. Nursing Pads are super soft, very thin nursing pads that help contain minor breast leaking while breastfeeding. They can be washed at home on gentle and even dried. The materials on the skin are organic.
