This dream team of three oils - 'Ooh', 'Aah' and 'Ouch'- are each formulated to ease specific breastfeeding issues by the Natural Birthing Company and are safe for breastfeeding mamas & during pregnancy. These three little bottles will help you on your breastfeeding journey.
All three oils help with low mood, anxiety, tension and stress- all of these factors can contribute to low milk supply and pain.
**Mastitis is an infection of the breast that can be extremely painful and can make you feel unwell. It is important that you keep breastfeeding baby during this time and also seek medical advice as you may need antibiotics.
How to use
- Add 2-3 drops of your chosen blend to a bowl of water. Hot water is best used for low milk supply, cold water on sore nipples. Whereas heavy, full tender breasts would benefit from hot water to ease the flow. Or use cold water to ease the discomfort/swelling. So choose what feels right for you at the time.
- Submerge a couple of flannels or muslin cloths into the water solution. Squeeze them out and place the wet cloths over both breasts directly onto the skin.
- Cover with a dry towel to keep warm and relax for up to 30 minutes. (During this time the cloths can be renewed in the water to maintain their temperature)
- Prior to feeding baby clean the breasts with a clean wet cloth to help to remove any lingering scent from the oils.
