However, baba comes out, the postpartum days can be tough on mums. The Peri Ice Pack by Little Weasel offer a bit of relief for mums struggling with pain and itching after giving birth.

• Made with cooling gel beads to allow some flexibility, even when frozen
  
• Works like an ice pack to reduce swelling, discomfort, tenderness and itching
  
• Sized to cover your perineal area and slots into your undies
  
• Includes two covers so you can wash one and use the other
  
• Easy to cool in the refrigerator or freezer
• Reusable

Pads can also be used as heating pads to release your perineal muscles during labour and delivery.

To use:

• To use cold, place the gel pad in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or in the freezer for 30-45 minutes
  
• To use hot, heat it in your microwave at 10-second intervals on medium heat. The pad will heat up in about 20-30 seconds total
  
• Pads will stay hot or cold for a 10-20 minute session
  
• We recommend using the pads with the cover for comfort and to help protect you from extreme temperatures
  
• Always check the temperature of the pads before using and use only for the recommended timeframe (for example, 10-20 minutes). To avoid damaging the pads, do not overheat or over-freeze. When heating in the microwave, check at 10-second intervals and remove immediately if the pads start to bubble or inflate. As with any heating or cooling product, please be aware of the risk of scalding, burns and frostbite, and do not use if broken. Kindly be advised that products are used at the user's own risk.
  
• If you are treating a medical condition, always follow the instructions of your doctor or medical practitioner. In addition to breastfeeding, pads may also be helpful for women struggling with breast pain or for people recovering from breast surgery.

Gel pad measures 24.5 by 7.5cm.
