A must have for breastfeeding mom.

Lansinoh Lanolin - Nursing Cream



or

Medela PureLan 100 Lanolin



same product, just diffferent brand name. i bought the first one (2 oz).

to me, this is a must have for breastfeeding. during the first two months, i applied the cream on my nipples after each nursing. this cream is good to prevent and treat sore nipple. i never suffer from sore nipple and i have to thank this product.

there are certain things need to take note while using this cream.

-prevention is always better than cure. apply the cream after each nursing, even you do not have sore nipple.

- the cream is super super thick. apply only a tinny bit is good enough. having too much on the nipples would make newborn have some difficulties to latch on (too slippery).

-having too many cream would stain the bra.

-the cream is safe for newborn to eat, need not wash the cream away before nursing.

when you feel your nipples are tough enough, you do not need the cream on the nipple anymore. you could also use the cream for:

-since it's safe for eating, it's also very safe to apply on baby's delicate skin, especially the face. i apply it on my baby's face when we are outside (to prevent dryness).

-the cream is super fast to heal dry skin on my hands. and with the cream applied on my hand, i need not worry about chemical while handling my baby.

-the cream is also good for small cut on my baby. she always scratch herself with her fingers.

2oz is a lot, after 14m of using it, we still have the cream. buy one 2oz tube is more than enough.

hope this is useful for mom-to-be who wants to try breastfeeding.
