Aa
ok I need some advice
Im 12 days into my post partum and Ive been using breast pads because they have been leaking horribly. Well I noticed a few nights ago they are starting to break out in a rash... what should I do ???????
Look into washable cotton or bamboo breast pads, I know cotton ones can be found at Motherhood and there are tons of Etsy shops that make them in different fabrics as well (Bamboobies are very popular as well). You are likely having a reaction to the absorbent chemicals in the disposable pads. Keep in mind that this may be a familial sensitivity - watch for diaper rash in your little one from the harsh chemicals. Cloth can save you tons of discomfort and a LOT of money in the long run - good luck!
Thanks I will call them first thing monday morning!!!
Call your doctor....it could be a couple of things but it's better to get it checked now before it gets worse!
