Most new mums will hear that breastfeeding 'shouldn't hurt'.  It's true, with positioning sorted and a great latch by baby, it shouldn't hurt or cause damage.

Yet for mums that are brand new to the whole gig, it can. And the rookie mistakes are real, and common. 

In those early weeks on the steep learning curve, nipples get a lot of action! Action that they're not used to.

It's all about learning how to get baby on, stay on, feed well and then come off. And repeat. 

In this process, nipples can get very tender, grazed or at worst, cracked and bleed.

So it's no surprise this can affect the entire breastfeeding experience for the mother, and consequently her baby. Every mama needs a boobie balm on hand.

What is it? 

The Nip Stick is a wind-up, botanical rich boobie balm.

Made from 100% organic plant-based ingredients, it's the size of a maxi lip balm.

It helps to relieve sore, chafed, cracked - or simply just worn out - breastfeeding nipples.

At the same time, promoting healing of this delicate and super essential area!

Plus it's safe for baby, so there is no need to wash it off before feeding.

It comes in a convenient, highly portable wind-up stick that's perfect for discreet use. Keep one in your nappy bag and one at home!

And I repeat - no need to wash off before baby feeds.
