How to Apply Organic Nipple Balm for Sore Nipples

Quick Answer

Apply a pea-sized amount of organic nipple balm to each nipple after every feed, gently massaging it in. There is no need to wipe or wash it off before your baby nurses again.

How to Apply Organic Nipple Balm: Step by Step

1. Step 1: Wash your hands: Always start with clean, dry hands to avoid introducing bacteria to the balm or your nipples. Common mistake: applying with dirty hands can lead to nipple thrush or infection.
2. Step 2: Express a pea-sized amount: Squeeze a small amount — about the size of a pea — onto your fingertip. A little goes a long way. Using too much can feel sticky and waste product; start small.
3. Step 3: Apply after each feed: Gently massage the balm onto the nipple and areola area right after nursing. This helps soothe soreness and lock in moisture while the skin is still warm. Wait until after feeding so the balm stays on longer and isn't washed away by milk.
4. Step 4: Do not wipe off before next feed: Because the organic balm is tasteless and odourless, you can leave it on for the next nursing session. No need to wash or wipe. Common mistake: wiping off the balm removes the protective layer and reduces its soothing effect.
5. Step 5: Store properly: Keep the balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use to maintain its texture and purity. Heat can melt the balm; if it softens, it's still safe to use but may feel different.
