Question Of The Week! 

A family recently asked whether beef tallow can be used to heal sore nipples while breastfeeding. It's an interesting question—and one I suspect we'll be hearing more often as natural skincare products continue to grow in popularity. I seem to be spotting a lot of homemade tallow products on the craft sale scene!

Beef tallow does act as an emollient, helping to soften the skin and reduce moisture loss. In general wound care, maintaining a moist healing environment can support skin repair however, what does the evidence say in relation to breastfeeding and its use? Unfortunately... not much! 

Currently,

🐮there is very little to no research on the use of beef tallow for nipple care during breastfeeding, and  no clinical evidence to support its safety or effectiveness for treating sore or damaged nipples. 

🐮no breastfeeding organization currently recommends it's use 

🐮its safety for breastfeeding infants has not been established

🐮the most concerning is the potential for microbial contamination if homemade or improperly  processed

🐮added fragrances or essential oils that may not be appropriate for infants have the potential to be ingested
