What mums are saying

★★★★★

"First few days of breastfeeding... Poor Theodore trying to latch on to the biggest nip ever! This balm has been a lifesaver! Natural ingredients, it works and it is so soothing. Definitely recommend."

— Shaunae Finnerty

How to use

After each feed, warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and gently massage into the nipple and areola. Reapply as often as needed in the early days. No need to wipe off before the next feed — it's completely safe for baby.

For deep healing during early breastfeeding, pair with our organic cotton and wool breast pads to keep the area dry and protected between feeds.

Why a lanolin-free nipple butter?

Lanolin (from sheep's wool) is a common ingredient in nipple creams, but many mums find it sticky, slow to absorb, or irritating — and some pēpi are sensitive to it. Our plant-based blend absorbs cleanly, feels soft on damaged skin, and lets your nipples breathe between feeds.

Common questions

Is it safe for baby?
Yes — every ingredient is food-grade and safe for baby's mouth. No need to wash off before feeds.

How long does a jar last?
Used as directed, most mums find one jar covers the first 3 to 4 months of breastfeeding. A little really does go a long way.

When will my order ship?
Each jar is handmade to order and ships within 1 business day. You'll receive tracking as soon as it's on its way.
