Cracks, grazes, dryness, Thrush, Mastitis...it's all bad, and it's all too common for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Our Boob Balm is a step above the rest as we harness the power of Manuka Oil. A thousand times more potent than Manuka honey, Manuka Oil is instantly pain-relieving, an anti-inflammatory, to heal cracks fast and calm the skin, anti-bacterial, to help prevent the natural bacteria that lives on your skin from capatalising, including the Mastitis causing bacteria, anti-fungal, to keep the common Thrush infection at bay, which is too easy to spread to your little one, and intensely moisturising. Use as both a preventative and a treatment for cracked sore nipples, as well as a comfort during pregnancy for those with dry, sensitive breasts. **We highly recommend preparing and conditioning your skin with Boob Balm in the later weeks of pregnancy, so your breasts are in the best state as possible to begin breastfeeding. And make sure you pack it in your hospital bag. When things go wrong, they go wrong fast, and you really want Boob Balm at hand to help you before things get out of control.
