When to Start Using Nipple Balm

You can begin using nipple balm from around 36 weeks of pregnancy to prepare the skin for feeding.

Continue using throughout your breastfeeding journey as needed, the balm is safe for regular use at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this nipple balm safe for babies?

Yes. Our Nipple Balm is formulated to be safe for baby during breastfeeding, there is no need to wipe it off before a feed. The plant-based ingredients absorb into the skin and are not transferred in quantities that would affect a feeding baby. As with any product, check the ingredient list for any known sensitivities before use.

What is the difference between nipple balm and nipple cream?

Nipple balm and nipple cream perform the same function, soothing and protecting sore, cracked nipples during breastfeeding. The difference is texture. Balms are typically thicker and more concentrated, using plant butters as the base. Creams have a lighter, more spreadable consistency. Both are effective. Our Nipple Balm has the concentrated protection of a balm with a texture that absorbs without residue.

Can I use this nipple balm if I have a lanolin allergy?

Yes. Our formula is completely lanolin-free, making it suitable for mothers with wool or lanolin sensitivities. It is also vegan, which means it contains no animal-derived ingredients of any kind. Always check the full ingredient list if you have known allergies to any botanical ingredients.

Can I use nipple balm during pregnancy?

Yes. You can begin applying nipple balm from around 36 weeks of pregnancy. Regular application in the final weeks helps condition the skin before breastfeeding begins, which can reduce the severity of nipple soreness in the early days after birth.

How often should I apply nipple balm?

Apply after every feed, or as often as needed for comfort. In the first 1 - 2 weeks when soreness is most acute, many mothers apply after every nursing session. As the skin adjusts and toughens, you may find you only need it when soreness flares.
