Nursing, pardon the pun, isn’t exactly child’s play, especially if you’re a first time mum. Getting your baby to latch is one thing, but once they’re on, it’s another story. Motherhood is beautiful, but it can be painful at times. Nipple creams, also known as nursing creams, can really help with the cracks, sores, and itchiness that often comes with nursing. And yes, as they’re made with food-safe ingredients, these creams are perfectly safe to be ingested by babies, if it hasn’t fully sunk into the skin. You can apply nursing creams both before and after nursing or pumping, and they truly make breastfeeding a much easier process. We’ve compiled a list of the best nipple creams in Singapore, so read on to discover a nursing cream that can suit your fancy!
