If to one woman this process is easily given, other representatives of the fair sex experience great difficulties. So, for some newly mummies, the breastfeeding pads will be the salvation. They can be of different sizes and shapes. It is about this accessory that will be discussed in this article. You will find out what kind of reviews young mummies leave about such overlays.

Breastfeeding pads
To begin with it is necessary to tell, what is thisadaptation. If you have any difficulties with feeding the baby, then you probably will help the lining for breastfeeding. The instruction is attached to each package. It must be studied before using the accessory.
Silicone pads for breastfeedingwere invented a long time ago. However, physicians did not recommend using such devices before. The material from which the lining was made could contain substances harmful to the baby. Very often the children had an allergic reaction after such feeding.
Now everything has changed.Lining for breastfeeding does not have a smell, color and does not emit harmful substances during feeding. They are made from materials absolutely harmless to the health of both mother and child. There are several different firms that produce such adaptations.
Breastfeeding pads: reviews
Women who used suchaccessories for breastfeeding, have very conflicting opinions on this matter. However, it is worth noting that most of the reviews are still positive. If there is a negative opinion, it means that the lining for breastfeeding was not used correctly. So, let's consider what kind of opinions and reviews such products have.
Possibility of feeding with an irregular nipple shape
Not all women have an ideal breast shape,suitable for feeding. Approximately half of newly mummies say that their nipple was flat or drawn. A newborn baby is quite difficult to grab such a breast. Most often, after several unsuccessful attempts, the child simply refuses to breastfeed in favor of a convenient bottle.
In this case, those mothers who could use breast-feeding pads "Avent" could continue the natural process.
Lining helped feed with diseases
This accessory, according to women and doctors,allows to establish a natural feeding in some diseases. So, with hepatitis B and C, most doctors forbid giving a baby to the breast. With the use of overlays, this process is greatly simplified. The infant does not have direct contact with the mother's breast and can fully feed on her milk.
Many women do not imagine life without such an accessory. They really want to establish a natural breastfeeding and breast pads help in this.
The ability to feed with cracks and painful sensations
Breastfeeding pads "Medela", asand "Avent", allow to establish comfortable feeding for mummy in the presence of cracks in the nipples. Very often in the first weeks of a baby's life, women face such an unpleasant problem. Often they arise from drying the tissues or when the baby is trying to chew the breast. To cure such a pathology is quite simple. However, some drugs are contraindicated in natural feeding. In this case, help comes to the nipple pads.
Women note that when usingsilicone adaptations the kid has no contact with the affected skin. Therefore, the painful sensations of the mother are dulled. Also, the medicine or ointment that is applied to the nipple does not fall into the mouth of the crumbs. A woman can calmly feed her baby and not experience unpleasant and painful feelings.
Lining helps regulate the flow of milk
Some women complain that they have breastsoverflowing from the content. If there is a lot of milk, the newborn child may simply not have time to swallow it. There is a high probability that the crumb will choke or choke. Some mummies claim that sometimes milk becomes so much that the baby simply refuses the breast. What to do in this case?
"Medela" pads for breastfeedingwill come to your aid. Women note that the silicone device has a different version of the flow of milk. So, you can purchase lining with one hole or more. During breast sucking, milk will accumulate between the lining and the breast, creating a uniform flow that is comfortable for the baby.
With the help of the patch it is possible to carry out mixed feeding
If the new mother does not have enough milk,then the overlay will allow for mixed feeding. Doctors say that some children do not agree to take a bottle. How to feed the baby?
The breastplate allows you to connect a thin catheter through which the milk mixture enters. Thus, my mother feeds herself, but at the same time uses artificial milk.
The lining does not fit snugly to the chest
This is what women say, who were dissatisfied with such an accessory. What's the matter? Really, one of the representatives of the fair sex linings fit, but others do not?
Manufacturers argue that in this casethe size is wrong. Not all women who use lining know that there are different shapes and sizes of such accessories. If, and with the correct choice of the device, it does not fit the skin, then it is worth using one secret. Experienced women say that before feeding, you need to moisten the inner part of the lining with a little water. After that, it will stick like a sucker to the skin and create the right pressure.
No proper stimulation of the breast
Some mummies note that when using pads, nipple stimulation does not occur. Milk is excreted, but not in such quantity, as we would like. What do the doctors say about this?
Most likely, a woman initially developedlittle milk. In the first months of a baby's life, it does not come on demand, but after a certain amount of time. This means that stimulation of the nipple does not affect the amount of milk.
The child does not want to suck through the lining
New mums can complain about the fact,that the child does not want to recognize the silicone coating and requires a natural breast. In most cases, such a problem is faced by those women whose children have been breastfed for quite some time.
In this case, we can say that the lining just do not suit you. Or rather, do not fit your baby. Such babies do not perceive the nipple or bottle. They require only mother's breast.
