I want to share a story from one of the support group moms. She brought in an opened package of Gerber gel pads to show me. She said that they fell apart while she was using them once leaked milk got onto them. She showed me one - the gel had disintegrated. She said it was all over her nipple and breast and was very difficult to remove. She was concerned that her baby was ingesting some of this crumbly mess during feeding as she felt she couldn't remove it all. Gross!!
