Baby Products Reviews of Ameda ComfortGel Pads
Customer Review: MUST HAVE FOR FIRST TIME BREASTFEEDERS
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I would quit breastfeeding because my nipples were soo sore! I saw my skin practically peel off my nipple when I started to breastfeed. I placed the gelpads on, and within two hours, I could see the healing begin. I tried olive oil nipple cream, and didn't even want to try anything with lanolin because I read it wasn't good to ingest,and it did not help at all. This is a great way to sooth nipples naturally. Just let your breast air dry with a little of the breast milk (natural oils), and then place the pads on the nipples. they are LIFE SAVERS. I think I only needed three pairs, until my nipples were used to the rigors of breast feeding (about 2-3 weeks). DON'T GIVE UP! Try these first, these work!Customer Review: Better things out there
Summary: 3 Stars
The lactation consultants at the hospital raved about these, but I didn't find them that great. They feel great cold, but that wears off in 15 seconds and they can't be cleaned so they get grimy quickly. If you drop them on the floor and have the wash them off it shortens their life. I preferred the hard shells that are available from most brands that support breastfeeding. They are hard plastic covers that allow air to circulate around your nipples, which is key to them healing quickly. Also, the hard shells keep fabric or breast pads from rubbing against your nipples. Personally, though they felt good, I didn't feel like they expedited healing.Customer Review: Wish I could give them 6 stars!

These gel pads saved me when my daughter was born. I was blistered & bleeding by the end of the first day nursing but determined to breastfeed. We picked these up on the way home from the hospital and they made it possible for me to continue. Keep them in the refrigerator and apply right after nursing each time--HEAVEN. If you keep the package, wash them after each use in warm water, and return them to the fridge, they last longer than 6 uses. I made it through 2 weeks with 2 pairs without a problem, and was completely healed by then. They are now my go-to shower gift for new mamas...Customer Review: Good product but consider APNO for really sore nipples
Summary: 4 Stars
I used hydrogels (not this particular brand but some made by Kendall through my hospital) to relieve nipple pain. Right out of the freezer, they provide instant relief. With my second son, though, I had a persistent crack in one nipple that Lansinoh and hydrogels did not help. If you are in this situation, consider asking your doctor for a prescription for All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO), a compounded medicine available from your pharmacist that contains pain reliever, antifungal, and steroid. The APNO is the only thing that helped me heal the stubborn crack.Customer Review: GET THESE TO HELP YOUR NIPPLES IF YOU'RE IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT YOU'RE CRYING!..or just uncomfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
A few days after I got home from the hospital I was thinking of stopping to breasfeed because my nipples were so sore and in such pain (even though baby was latched on just fine). These pads worked miracles! Put them in the refrigerator and the apply them to your nipples right after feeding. You will feel GREAT! These truly saved me. Now baby is 6 months old and still breasfeeding...I'm sooooo glad I did not stop....thanks to these pads (and chamomile tea applications). They might be a bit pricey but VERY worth it!
