This gentle warmth effectively relieves pain and discomfort and helps the milk to flow better, so simply wear as you find comfortable and helpful.

This was our very first product and the business hereby commenced in Perth, Western Australia.
How I as a mum discovered Breast-Warmer™
Following a trip to Sweden to visit family 1998, I returned to Australia with Breast-Warmers™. I had suffered a fever from the early onset of mastitis, and was told to get a pair to help ease the inflammation by helping the milk flow.
Having breastfed three children I found there was very limited awareness in Australia about gentle warmth being beneficial for breastfeeding.
I was personally told to freeze cabbage leaves and put in my bra, cabbage full of pesticides.
As I spoke about how Breast-Warmers™ had helped me, people were often amused at the concept of "breast warmers".
There was little awareness in Australia that gentle warmth helps the milk to flow better.
Blockages are easier cleared, preventing the milk being pressed out in the breast tissue (where the milk should not be) which can be a cause of inflammation (mastitis).
Slow let down can also be improved, making expressing easier, vasospasm eased, blocked ducts cleared and sore breasts soothed.
After years of bringing awareness about the benefits of gentle warmth, many copies of Breast-Warmers™ has appeared on the market. Most in the form of microwave heat packs. Be cautious what you place on the breast, it does not take much to burn delicate breast tissue, and accidentally your baby.
Stay safe, only apply gentle continuous warmth.
Today's Breast-Warmers™
2019 we introduced Breast-Warmers™ Silk & Wool as a very soft, thin, pliable and environmentally better alternative to the bulky Flectalon material. This gentle product has been used in Sweden, Europe and US for many years and breaks down fully.
Since 2023 the silk has been removed from Breast-Warmers™ following consumer request. Breast-Warmers™ Merino Wool Tricot has now fully replaced our original Flectalon Breast-Warmers™.
Since 2024 we also offer Breast-Warmers™ Wool Fleece which are a little larger, thicker and provide greater warmth than Breast-Warmers™ Merino Wool.
Please consider the application and choose accordingly.
