While it offers significant relief and aids in the healing of sensitive, irritated skin, making the breastfeeding journey more comfortable, it's essential to note that, as with all creams applied around the nipples, best practice dictates wiping clean before breastfeeding. This ensures the utmost safety and comfort for both mother and baby, reinforcing the Rescue Balm's critical role in breastfeeding support.
