My review – Lily Pads

Lily Padz Nursing Pads

So, I was really excited to try these.  I have had issues in the past with breastfeeding and leaking and I was really hoping these would prevail! Unfortunately for me, they did not.  First of all you have to flip the silicone pads inside out, then you are supposed to press it against your nipple first.  Then you’re supposed to flip it right side out and it is supposed to stick to your breast. Well, for me they did not work.  The silicone cut into my breast, which hurt when I had my nursing bra on.  I gave it several days thinking maybe things are just swollen/engorged; but after several days I had to revert back to the Gerber nursing pads. 😦  So, save your $20 and buy something else.  These didn’t work for me.

Is it really my brest friend?

So, there is a product that I am really excited to try out and I cannot wait until baby Jake gets here so that I can.  With all my other boys (I chose not to breast feed my daughter, chalk that up to being 21 and young) I used a boppy pillow and to be quite honest it’s a great concept; BUT… for a once very large person it is difficult to fit around your waist to properly hold a baby for feeding.

THIS time around I decided to try something different.  Having lost 50 lbs prior to getting pregnant with this little guy I’m hoping, praying, pleading with God to help me get my body back so that I can get a hawt momma of 5… 😉

That being said, I am really interested in trying out this pillow.  It looks ergonomically correct for holding a bigger baby (mine start out small, but gain speed pretty quickly).

It looks a lot more comfortable than those boppy type pillows.  I bought mine second hand from a children’s consignment shop in north Austin.

I think what did it for me was the water bottle holding pocket!  😉

Anyway, hope to be using this bad boy in about 5 weeks or so when Baby Jake is done baking!  I’ll post an update when I’m finally able to break this puppy out.
