Earth Mama Hot & Cold Nursing Packs: Comforting Relief for Breastfeeding Moms

AFfam73: I have electric warmers and massagers, but these are phenomenal to use on rest periods between feedings or pumping! Soft and fit right around any nipple shields or letdown milk collectors. Doesn’t smell great, but much softer than rice, doesn’t overheat ang burn like other gel packs. Definitely follow instructions for best use! Totally worth it’

Tessa: These don’t get too cold when frozen and give about 3-5 min of instant relief for engorged breasts from milk coming in / nursing

Sarah: I like to warm these up and wrap them around my breasts inside my pumping bra and then pump. They help express quicker and fully empty better. And I have an issue with vasospasms after pumping so I’ll reheat them and place it on my nipples if I have a spasm.

Danny: Excellent produit!! Le tissu est doux et ils s'insèrent bien dans le soutien-gorge contrairement à mes autres compresses. La forme "ouverte" permet de bien s'adapter aux seins et de placer la compresse sur les zones douloureuses. Je recommande à 100%😊

Karina: Didn't di anything for me. Firstly, it doesn't stay hot for very long. Secondly, it doesn't stay on the boob, kept falling off. Lastly, it barely covers any boob surface. May be more suitable for small breasts.

Beatrice Gatta: Arrivato senza problemi, ma al secondo utilizzo uno dei due salsicciotti si è già bucato da una parte. Il tessuto della fodera è molto delicato e si rompe facilmente. Metto comunque 3 stelle perché fanno il loro lavoro e hanno la forma ideale per stare nel reggiseno. Consiglio di farsi aiutare da una nonna sarta a rinforzare le cuciture e a fargli una federa su misura. Come altre persone hanno già fatto notare, il fatto che non si possano lavare è un grosso svantaggio, dato che si sporcheranno facilmente di latte materno e lasciarlo depositare non è igienico. Ribadisco: conviene farsi fare delle federe su misura.

Mary: le doy 5 estrellas por que realmente sirve, se calienta en menos de 1 minuto en el microondas y sirve para aplicar calor en el pecho. Es ecológico ya que lleva semillas dentro y la tela es de algodón. también se podría congelar, aunque aún no lo he usado congelado, pero serviría. Además, llegó rápido.

Gracias.

Karen N.: Great product. Wish I had this when my other 2 children were born. With my second, I ended up having mastitis 2 weeks apart from each other on the same side. After the second time, I gave up nursing and went to bottles. My babies seem to not like that side, they have to nurse harder on that side. So before this baby was born, I was determined not to get that again! I bought 2 sets of these. When you put them in the microwave, be sure not to get them too hot. It didn't seem too hot to the touch, but when I put them on, they were too hot to that sensitive skin. I ended up burning myself. I found that putting a small hot washcloth on first and then put the heated thing on, it works better than if you just put it on dry. I secured it in place with my nursing bra. So whenever I feel really hard spots on my breasts, I get paranoid and get these out. I also used them cold. My 5 yr old son had tonsils surgery and I tried to use the cold ones on him. They wrapped around his neck like a necklace. They would have worked great if he would have kept them on for longer than a second! They were not too cold even after I left them in the freezer for several hours.

Spoiled Rott'n: Bra size: 40E/40F

I had a plugged duct and have a recurring bleb on my left side. I'm a working mom and pump twice a day at work. I warm them up in the microwave for about 40 seconds and put them in my bra a few minutes prior to pumping. It helps make pumping more efficient. I let down and drain faster. For blebs, it works good too. I heat it up and put it in my bra making sure my nipple is directly on the booby tube. It feels better and helps clear the bleb when I pump DIRECTLY after applying the heat compress.

Pros: Comfortable on the skin, moist heat, compact, natural, fits in bra nicely.
Cons: Doesn't stay hot for very long. If it's placed in your bra directly from the microwave, it'll last a good 5 minutes. It will not sit on your boob while pumping because of the fabric cover. It slides off.

I'm a double pumper. I've got my hands full holding the bottles and massaging my breasts while I pump. I don't use the pumping bra because it doesn't allow me access to massage to help drain completely.

Prior to this, I was using orthomed cold/hot gel pack. The heat lasts longer and because of its plastic packaging, I can rest it on my...
