Dear mum, 

Being able to breastfeed is a wonderful thing. Your own body supplies everything your baby needs at just the right temperature. Especially when you start out, strong sucking can lead to small, painful cracks in your nipples. After breastfeeding, one squirt of nipple balm per breast will cool, calm and care for your nipples. Remember to remove any remaining product with a damp cloth before you breastfeed again.

My tip as a midwife is to concentrate on your attachment technique. 

Cools and calms:
This cooling gel calms and cares for stressed nipples with extracts of aloe vera, chamomile flowers and liquorice.

Dear mum,

A caesarean section cuts through a large number of muscles and nerves. Sometimes, the scarring can feel stiff or even numb. This dermaroller restores the skin’s elasticity and helps soften hard scar tissue.

My tip as a midwife is to massage the scar twice a day for 2 to 3 minutes.

Nurtures and softens:
This dermaroller improves the elasticity and suppleness of scarred skin.

Dear parents,

In the first few years of life, the sensitive skin of your child’s bottom is often covered by a nappy, which prevents the circulation of fresh air. This nappy cream both cares for the skin and protects it against moisture. It has a preventive effect against redness and inflammation, especially during the night when the nappy is changed less often.

My tip as a midwife is to wash baby’s bottom with warm water between changes and treat it to an air bath.

Protects and soothes:
This nappy barrier cream with the DEFENSIL®-PLUS formula nurtures and soothes baby’s delicate skin and protects it against redness and soreness.

Dear parents,

Parenting can be hard! In the first few weeks of their life, babies often struggle with tummy ache. You can help prevent this with a relaxing tummy massage, applying this calming oil in circular movements.

My tip as a midwife is to warm up the nurturing oil in the palms of your hands and work it in using clockwise motions.

Relaxes and calms:
Nurturing rice bran oil and sesame oil, plus essential oils from star anise, coriander and cardamom support the soothing tummy massage.
