Mothercare Breast Pads

I'm currently breast feeding my second child, she just over 7 months now and doing great. I decided to breast feed her way before I gave birth as I'd breast fed my son with great success. One of the first things you learn when you breast feed your child is the need for protection! By that I mean some form of pad that will catch the excess milk flow. There's nothing worse than being out shopping or going for a stroll and suddenly realising you have become a human sprinkler system. Covered in milk and no-where to hide. I've tried all the brands you care to think of but these are tops for me! Gold tops that is, lol. ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnat with my first I went mad in mothercare and bought everything I thought I could possibly need, as I intended to breast feed, I grabbed a box of Mothercare breast pads and off I went. i cant remember the exact price as was a while ago, but can remember that incomparison to the toehrs available they were propbably one of the cheapest. When it came to using them, I noticed they were actually quite small discs, not good for a fuller breast like mine (size G) and slid around really easily in my bra meaning they didnt stay where they were supposed to. The worst bit was the edging to them was quite rigid and crumpled, meaning they rubbed like mad in ...  Read the complete review

I am a new mum (for the second time around) and in the last couple of weeks have become quite an expert on breast pads!! I sent my husband in last weekend to buy me some as I'd almost run out. He didn't go to Tesco's which is where I'd bought the last ones, but instead to Mothercare. He came home with a box of 40 which cost £2.50. The first thing I noticed was that they were quite a bit smaller than the Tesco's pads. But they felt quite soft and seemed to have lots of padding to soak up the drip milk. However, when I slipped them into my bra they were really uncomfortable. The edges of the pad weren't nice and smooth, but all ...  Read the complete review

I started using the mothercare washable pads straight after Ethan was born, and I found that they do not absorb the milk well, instead of just having a wet patch on your clothes your also left with two soaking wet pads, which is not very usefull when your out. Its also impossible to keep up with washing them they need doing so often. After struggling with these for the first week I brought some mothercare disposable pads, which I found were comfatable absorbant and saved loads of washing, I now use the washable ones as well as the disposable, which act as a back up when im out, although I must say ive found cheaper brands of disposables to be just as good. ...  Read the complete review

I got a couple of packs of Boots washable breast pads when I had my first baby. They were very absorbent and I was very impressed, however I did notice that after a few weeks, some of them had a tendency to leak a little around the seam (they have a dart like seam in them to give them their shape). I actually did return some of them to Boots with a complaint letter and got my money back, but it seemed to be a particular batch as others from there didn't leak at all. I have found that the material has bobbled and this means that sometimes the pads stick to me when they are wet/damp. This can be a bit uncomfortable. With my second I got some Mothercare ...  Read the complete review
