Boobie Balm (best before October 2024)
The Lactation Station Boobie Balm is made of 100% pure lanolin, meaning it is completely safe for breastfeeding mothers.
Lanolin derives from sheep’s wool and is the perfect hydration balm to be used for cracked, painful or dry nipples.
Boobie Balm is 100% natural and non-toxic which means there is no need to wipe or remove the balm before feeding the baby.
About The Lactation Station Boobie Balm
- 100% pure Lanolin Boobie Balm is safe to use on the skin while breastfeeding.

- Although lanolin is generally considered safe, you or your baby may be sensitive to the balm.
- Boobie balm should be avoided by people with a known allergy to wool as it is 100% Lanolin.

The Lactation Station Boobie Balm Details
How to use:
- Apply Boobie Balm directly to any affected areas on your areola anytime you are experiencing nipple pain, or as a preventive measure.
- You can safely apply the Boobie Balm to cracked or bleeding areas. However, open areas may need additional time to heal.
- You do not need to remove the Boobie Balm from your nipples before breastfeeding.
- For better absorption of the balm into the skin, apply 10-15mins before breastfeeding. Or after the baby has finished feeding.
- Discontinue use if you experience any increased skin irritation, pain, skin cracking, or bleeding after using our Boobie Balm, or your baby's mouth develops any sores or redness.
Other tips for relief of cracked nipples:
- Ensure you change your breast pads regularly.
- Apply freshly squeezed breastmilk to the cracked areas.
- Warm compress on the breasts.
- Soak cracked nipples in a warm saltwater bath. Rinse or wipe thoroughly before feeding the baby.
- Breastfeed baby on the less cracked side first.
- Leave the injured breast exposed to fresh air to allow the areola to dry thoroughly before reapplying your bra or breast pads.
- If experiencing continuous cracked or sore nipples ensure you have your baby’s latch checked by your midwife, lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist.

Faults
If you believe a product is faulty, please send a photo or video to us on hello@bearandmoo.co.nz and we will let you know the process for an exchange or refund.
Electrical Products
Before returning a battery operated item which you consider faulty, we require that you have tested your item with a brand new set of high quality batteries, such as Everyready GOLD, Energizer Plus or Duracell Plus. The majority of ‘faults’ are due to the use of poor quality batteries, such as using a mix of old and new batteries, using rechargeable batteries or cheap chain store or $2 shop batteries. If your item still seems to be faulty or the fault is with an item that is charged by cord then please email us on hello@bearandmoo.co.nz and we will contact the supplier. We may ask you to run some at home tests which we will email through. If these don’t work we will get the item back for testing and if it is deemed faulty then we will be happy to replace / refund depending on stock. If it is returned and not deemed faulty, you will be responsible for the cost of shipping.

Bear & Moo branded products have a 24 month warranty.

How can I pay?
We’ve got options! Shopify payments allows you to use your credit card or Visa debit card. If you want to pay your order off, you can use Laybuy, Afterpay or Humm.
I'm trying to use my rewards code or discount code at the checkout and it's not working - why not?
A couple of possibilities! The most common is that there is a value pack in your cart. Because these are already discounted, rewards vouchers and discount codes aren't valid on these items. You may also be using another code already (Shopify only allows one code per order), or you perhaps have the code wrong. If you're not sure, flick us an email and we'll be happy to help you figure it out.
Do you allow pick ups?
Yes we do. We allow pick ups from our Warehouse at 20C Lake Road, Frankton, Hamilton. Please select pick up at the checkout and you will receive an email notification when your order is ready for collection, including the pick up hours. If the hours do not suit, please email us and we will do what we can. Please note that all pick ups are only during business hours.
What’s your policy around privacy and my details?
Your privacy is incredibly important to us. We will not disclose or sell your information or anyone … even if they ask really nicely. Credit card details are not stored anywhere. You can check out our full privacy policy here.
