Abstract:
Only a healthy mother can raise a healthy baby. For a healthy and hygienic nursing experience nursing wipes are important. Taking care of breast is important for lactating mothers, both during travel and while at home. Nursing wipes gently clean and remove any milk or sweat remnants on the breast and help prepare mother for breastfeeding (Anonymous 2022a). In the present study availability of nursing wipes in the market was explored. Experts’ opinion was sought regarding suitable fabric for these breast wipes. Suggestions regarding wipes size and shapes were also sought. It was found during the study that concept of nursing wipe is still new. These are not yet available in the local market, though 3 brands offer them online. Knitted cotton fabric was thought to be more suitable for nursing wipes. Rectangular shape and commercially available standard size were recommended by the experts.
