Any breastfeeding mother will know the importance of a breast pad which is soft and comfortable, and if you care about the planet you'll know they should be washable rather than disposable too. The creator of Lanowool pads knew all of this and came up with a pad made from New Zealand merino wool. They are processed with biodegradable detergents and are treated with an emulsifier of purified, pesticide free lanolin. The merino wool makes the pads extremely breathable and moves moisture away from the body, and unlike synthetic pads they won't cause overheating. They are recommended by midwifes in the UK and New Zealand and have won several awards. They cost £10 for one pair and are available from Babykind.
