Lily Padz Reuseable Nursing Pads

This is a product that every breastfeeding mother needs to know about. Finally a solution to leaking and a way to sleep without wearing a bra! I've been using lilypadz for about a month now and I must say that I LOVE them.

When the nipple is exposed to this constant moisture, it is a prime target for a thrush infection. So, I still think they are worth the money, but use them only occasionally. Another tip I would offer would be to empty your milk before you wear them to bed (i.e., feed from both breasts or even better, pump them both). That way, you minimize leakage for the night. Also, if you are prone to leaking a lot, I recommend sleeping on a towel to save your...Read more
