Remember my bout with mastitis? And my second bout with mastitis? Well, there were 2 products out there that helped that I now swear by. Earth Mama Angel Baby sent me their Bosom Buddies and Booby Tubes right around my first mastitis experience (aka one of the most painful experiences of my life, almost as painful as childbirth and I’m not being dramatic). I actually went out and bought a second pair of Booby Tubes because they were that awesome – while one pair was on my boobs, the other pair was in the microwave waiting to be put on my boobs (the heat helps unclog milk ducts). During my bouts with mastitis, I used the Bosom Buddies once a day and the Booby Tubes about a hundred times a day until it was gone. The Booby Tubes also worked great cold in the beginning stages of breastfeeding to help relieve tenderness.
Ouch, just thinking about the beginning challenges of breastfeeding makes me cringe. The thought of just quitting crossed my mind so many times in that first month but I knew that especially with a preterm baby, he would thrive on breastmilk. These products helped me through the early challenges of breastfeeding and pumping, making it that much easier to stick with it. We’re big Earth Mama Angel Baby fans in this house – from using Earth Mama Body Butter while I was pregnant to using Angel Baby Bottom Balm on Logan’s tush (which by the way is cloth diaper friendly). Earth Mama Angel Baby products are all natural and organic – no toxins or other nasty ingredients. These are by far my favorite mama and baby products!
