Wool is Better – And Here is Why!

The grey and dreary winter season is upon us. Though we have yet to experience a real snowfall, temperatures have already dropped to freezing on several occasions, and we are cold to the bone most days.

As a nursing mother, freezing temperatures can seem extra tough to overcome. Not least because frosty weather and long stroller walks are an unappealing combination, but even more so because cold winter weather can be a pain for sore breasts. The risk of mastitis increases if you have a tendency to get cold, as it clogs the milk ducts, making way for painful inflammation. For this simple reason, it is extra important to stay warm and avoid draft on exposed breasts.

There are many reasons to love wool, but one of the primary reasons is the natural fiber’s exclusive insulation properties that not only keep us warm, but also help absorb moisture and transport it away from your body. Wool is simply the best material to keep you warm and comfortable at all times, as it will make sure you never get cold and clammy – an incredibly practical feature when it comes to nursing wear such as nursing bras and nursing tops, which are often exposed to excess milk and sweat.

Milker has a wide range of woolen nursing clothes – from nursing bras and tops, to practical and stylish nursing dresses that will keep you warm and make breastfeeding easier.
