Tip:
It is best to make the breast pads sufficiently in advance so that they can be washed regularly before use. The washings will allow the microfleece tissue to become more absorbent. Think about it especially if you make these breast pads for the purpose of offering them!
Take them from the maternity, the soft material will bring you comfort from the first feedings.
