MediHoney Gel

MediHoney gel is a great product to help heal cracked nipples.

As an IBCLC, I recommend MediHoney to many of our clients who are experiencing cracked nipples from dysfunctional breastfeeding or pumping.

I love MediHoney because itโ€™s:

  • Aย medical-gradeย honey product specifically formulated to help heal wounds and prevent infection.
  • 100% natural. It has antimicrobial properties, which can help to prevent infection, which is especially important for you breastfeeding mamas.
  • Easy to use. It comes in a convenient squeeze tube, and all you have to do is apply a small amount to the affected area after breastfeeding. You can use it as often as you need.

I highly recommend MediHoney for anyone experiencing sore or cracked nipples while breastfeeding. It is a safe, natural, and effective way to promote healing and prevent infection, and it can help make your breastfeeding experience more comfortable. I recommend it so much that we keep sample containers that we provide our clients during in-person consultations.

How To Use MediHoney While Breastfeeding:

After breastfeeding or pumping, squeeze a small amount from the tube and gently apply it to the affected nipple and surrounding area.

Before breastfeeding/pumping, use a warm wet cloth to gently wipe off any remaining MediHoney gel. You do not need to clean off your nipple if you donโ€™t see any MediHoney on your nipple, it is safe for baby.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • 100% natural
  • Has antimicrobial properties
  • Promotes healing
  • Prevents infection
  • Convenient squeeze tube
  • Use it as often as you need

Cons

  • Price โ€“ It might seem a bit pricey, but that doesnโ€™t stop us from recommending it to almost everyone with sore or cracked nipples.
  • Quantityย โ€“ You get more than you might need to resolve your cracked nipple issues, at least I sure hope so! You can always share the excess with a mama in need.
