Bio-Fem, makers of a lanolin-free moisturising balm and compress, which ease the pain and discomfort of sore nipples, are giving away free samples of its Instant Relief Compress in support of National Breastfeeding Awareness Week 2009.
Although the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, more than half of mothers in the UK will have given up breastfeeding by the time their baby is six weeks old.
One of the reasons women give up breastfeeding is sore nipples.
Bio-Fem’s nipple care range protects and conditions while nursing, relieving the discomfort of swollen, sore and cracked nipples pre- and post-pregnancy.
Bio-Fem nipple products are 100 per cent natural, preservative and lanolin free. The products are therefore entirely safe for both mother and baby and there's no need to remove prior to breastfeeding.
Free samples of the lanolin and preservative-free Bio-Fem Compress are available to breastfeeding mothers; visit www.biofem.co.uk to request a free sample.
The Bio-Fem Balm retails at £5.99/30ml and the Bio-Fem Compress is available from Boots in packs of 2, which retail at £1.99 and 12s, which retail at £9.99.
