New Mother Nursing Balm FAQs
What is New Mother Nursing Balm used for?
Nursing Balm is a traditional remedy for the sore, tender nipples that commonly accompany the early weeks of breastfeeding. Organic Calendula and Marshmallow root are infused into moisturizing beeswax to extract their nourishing constituents, creating a salve that soothes, hydrates, and supports the skin's natural recovery.
Do I need to wipe off the balm before nursing?
No — New Mother Nursing Balm is specifically formulated to be safe for babies, so there's no need to remove it before nursing. This is one of the biggest practical advantages over lanolin or other nursing balms that require wiping off before each feeding.
How do I apply Nursing Balm?
Apply a thin layer to nipples after nursing or pumping. Let absorb for a moment before dressing. You can reapply as often as needed throughout the day and night.
Is Nursing Balm vegan?
The balm contains organic beeswax and is therefore not fully vegan. It is USDA Certified Organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, paraben-free, preservative-free, phthalate-free, and never tested on animals.
What are the key ingredients in Nursing Balm?
Organic Calendula flower and organic Marshmallow root infused into organic beeswax, organic Jojoba oil, and organic Camelina oil. Calendula is prized for its soothing and skin-supporting properties; Marshmallow root is deeply moisturizing and calming to irritated tissue.
Is this different from lanolin-based nipple creams?
Yes. Conventional nipple creams are often lanolin-based — a derivative of wool that doesn't suit everyone and requires removal before nursing. WishGarden's Nursing Balm is USDA Organic, plant-based (except for beeswax), and requires no pre-nursing wiping.
What are customers saying about WishGarden's New Mother Nursing Balm?
Customers rave about this nursing balm's quick-absorbing, non-greasy texture that sets it apart from other products they've tried. Reviewers who've been nursing for years share that the soft, creamy formula provides soothing comfort for tender nipples, with many noting they feel confident using it because the clean ingredients are safe for both mama and baby. Users love its versatility too - several mention keeping it handy as an incredibly hydrating chapstick and hand balm, especially appreciating that a little goes a long way. New mamas and experienced nursing parents alike consistently recommend this balm to friends and family, with one exclusively breastfeeding mother calling it the best natural nursing product she's found.
