Aleva Naturals’ Nursing Balm is easy to apply and does not affect breastfeeding. The ingredients are completely natural and free from animal by-products, making it an ideal alternative to lanolin-based balms.
The balm is effective, preventing dryness and cracking – leaving skin feeling lovely and soft. The texture of the balm is sticky and slightly lumpy – gritty almost – but softens on your fingertips before application.
The smell won't be everyone’s cuppa tea but the balm makes the breastfeeding experience easier and a whole lot less painful. It’s a bit more expensive than other similar products but works well and is worth the money.
