  • Trusted brands of nipple cream for breastfeeding moms in the Philippines
  • What these highly recommended nipple creams are made of

When you get pregnant, one of the body parts that experience change is your breasts. Because of the change in hormone levels, your breasts may feel tender and your nipples become more sensitive than usual.

This change in pregnancy can only prepare you for the real challenge that is breastfeeding. Frequent latching for hours on end can leave your breasts feeling tired. Some even get hard because of clogged ducts.

For those moms whose babies are having problems with latching, they can have nipples that are sore, swollen or cracked.

Studies show that nipple creams are helpful in keeping your nipples healthy and intact when you are a breastfeeding mom. In fact, a lot of soon-to-be moms are using it already in preparation for giving birth.

Choosing the best nipple cream

best nipple cream for breastfeeding in the Philippines

Because of the demand, there are several nipple cream brands for breastfeeding moms in the country. For this particular list, we chose six that we think are contenders for the title “best nipple cream for breastfeeding moms in the Philippines."

How did we choose them? Here are some of the factors that we considered:

  • Quality ingredients – It should be made of ingredients that are proven safe for baby.
  • Texture – The cream should not be greasy and oily. Most of the time, lanolin creams have a thick and heavy feeling once you apply them, while blended lanolin creams are lightweight and easy to use but you need to let it dry for a couple of minutes after you applied it.
  • Odor and taste –  Some newborn babies are very sensitive in terms of odor and taste. So make sure to also consider this factor when choosing creams for it might affect your breastfeeding session.
