What is Raynaud's? It is a condition when blood vessels
spasm and constrict in body extremities such as nipples. When
Raynaud's Phenomenon causes nipple vasospam, the nipple turns white
and there is usually a noticeable change in colour from white to
blue to red, as blood flow returns.
It can occur during pregnancy and at times related to feeding.
Cold temperatures typically trigger the vasospasm and make it
worse. It is a very painful experience.
One common treatment is to keep the breast and nipples warm.
These Breastwarmers use a reflective insulating layer to
naturally warm the breasts.
Breastwarmers can be used by women with Raynaud's Phenomenon, to
boost milk supply due to the warmth that is provided to milk ducts,
and to help with let-down or expressing.
Breastwarmers can be worn all the time to help prevent vasospasm
events occurring and to help increase milk supply, before
breastfeeding or expressing to aid let-down, or after breastfeeding
to reduce vasospasm.
"Summer Warmth" Breastwarmers are discrete, covering the cup
area of the breast only, and are contoured to ensure a snug fit. An
absorbent layer is included, meaning that a separate absorbent pad
is not required, making breastfeeding easier and more discrete. The
breastwarmers include a layer of reflective insulating and
breathable material, this is the special material that reflects the
heat back to the breast and can reduce pain. .
Summer Warmth Breastwarmers are made by Tara. A mother who
suffers from Raynaud's. Tara looked to find products that would
help her, and found that her own sewing was the best solution. She
is now able to supply these Breastwarmers to help other
mothers.
