How do I care for my Breast-Warmers™?
Simply wash Breast-Warmers™ in cold or luke warm water, by hand or on gentle cycle at 30ºC (85ºF). Do not use fabric softener. Dry flat.
How do I best use Breast-Warmers™ ?
Simply wear Breast-Warmers™ as needed; for a short time, 20-30 min before a feed, or even all day and night, simply slip inside the bra or crop-top as required.
This gentle warmth effectively relieves pain and discomfort and helps the milk to flow better, so simply wear as you find comfortable and helpful.
Studies have shown that warming the breasts 20 min before expressing breast milk increases the yield.
For vasospasm wear Breast-Warmers™ all the time, or most of the time.
To get the most relief from vasospasm, avoid getting cold in general, including hands, wrists and neck.
Avoid wind and drafts.
Dry quickly after showering warm, wear Breast-Warmers™ straight away and keep them on.
Do not air your nipples.
Try to avoid/reduce stress.
If you suffer severe symptoms of vasospasm of the nipple (Raynaud's phenomenon), see a Lactation Consultant as you may need to compliment your treatment with medication.
*Please be aware that if you get a high fever and don’t find any relief by wearing Breast-Warmers within 12 hours, you must see a doctor or lactation consultant as you may need medication.
