Pregnancy keeping you awake? Recovering from birth? Feeding position giving you discomfort?

Why New Mums Love This
You're carrying extra weight, your body is changing, you're not sleeping, and you're holding a baby in awkward positions for hours. Everything feels different. This wheat bag gives you natural, safe warmth exactly when you need it most. The lavender isn't just nice - it genuinely helps calm your nervous system when you're overwhelmed.
How to Use During Pregnancy & After Birth
For pregnancy comfort: Heat for 1-2 minutes following maker's guidelines. Place behind your lower back while sitting or lie on it in bed.
For feeding comfort: Warm and drape around your neck and shoulders. The weight and warmth release tension from holding baby.
For after-birth comfort: Use on your back, shoulders, or anywhere that needs soothing warmth.
For cooling comfort: Place in freezer for 2+ hours. Use as cold compress on swollen ankles or for cooling relief.
For breastfeeding: Warm compress on breast before feeding for comfort.
For sleep: The lavender scent helps you relax during those precious moments when baby is actually sleeping.
Why Wheat Bags Are Safer Than Hot Water Bottles
Hot water bottles can leak, burn, or be too hot for sensitive pregnancy skin. Wheat bags provide consistent, gentle warmth that won't scald. They're also hands-free - you can drape them where you need them and they stay put. Perfect when you're trying to rest.
The Lavender Makes a Difference
We use locally grown English lavender because it's safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it genuinely helps. Lavender reduces anxiety, promotes sleep, and has natural calming properties. When you're a new mum running on no sleep, that calming scent is worth its weight in gold.

Wheat Bag Safety Guide: How to Heat, Use & Care for Your Microwavable Heat Pack
Heating Your Wheat Bag Safely
Always heat your microwavable wheat bag in a clean microwave on medium power (500-600W). For first-time use, heat for 1-2 minutes, then check the temperature. Never exceed 3 minutes of heating time to prevent overheating and fire risk.
Key heating safety tips:
- Heat in 30-second intervals for optimal warmth
- Never heat a damp or wet wheat bag
- Allow to cool for at least 4 hours between heating cycles
- Check for hot spots before applying to skin
- Do not overheat - wheat bags should be warm, not burning hot
Safe Usage Guidelines
Place your heated wheat bag on the affected area for 15-20 minutes maximum. Always use a protective cloth barrier if the heat pack feels too hot against bare skin. Wheat heat therapy is ideal for muscle pain relief, period cramps, arthritis, back pain, neck tension, and warming cold hands and feet.
Never use wheat bags:
- On infants under 3 years old without supervision
- While sleeping or unconscious
- On areas with reduced sensation or poor circulation
- If the fabric is damaged or torn
Wheat Bag Care & Maintenance
Spot clean your wheat bag with a damp cloth only - never immerse in water or machine wash. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, scorching, or unusual odours.
Replace your wheat bag if you notice:
- Burnt smell or scorch marks
- Torn or damaged fabric
- Moisture or mould inside
- Reduced heat retention
Longevity & Storage Tips
With proper care, quality wheat bags last 2-3 years. Keep away from pets and children when not in use. Store in a breathable cotton bag rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup.
Important Safety Reminder: Always supervise wheat bag use and follow these guidelines to ensure safe, effective heat therapy for natural pain relief and comfort.
