Ameda Lansinoh Lanolin 2 oz.

Im a first time mom/breastfeeder I had gotten Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter and while i liked it it didnt have the thickness that this product had. I used both but when i experienced severe scabs and peeling i turned to this product to offer the protection i needed and soothing.

Forget about breast feeding..... this is the ONLY product on the market that works effectively in healing dry, cracked, painful CHAPPED LIPS. And you would not believe what it can do for rough, DRY FEET! I use this stuff every day, and I don't have any kids!

The hospital lactation consultant gave me a sample tube of this stuff in the hospital - baby and I were having a really hard time with breastfeeding, and by day three my nipples seriously looked like someone slashed them with knives. I was bleeding and had bruising (we eventually got the hang of it, though!), and when the consultant saw it, she gave me a little tube of the Lansinoh lanolin. I don't know what I would have done without this... aside from having stopped breastfeeding for one thing. You're not supposed to use any lotion on your breasts while breastfeeding, so this stuff is a LIFESAVER since it's perfectly safe for baby and protects my poor nipples from getting cracked again >< (and you don't have to wipe/wash it off to feed the baby). I ended up with Mastitis from my first few days of attempting breastfeeding since my skin broke right open, but since then I have had no problems since my skin stays supple with this stuff on them. I find it especially helpful these days after using a breast pump... I give my nipples a few moments to dry and then slather this stuff on.

Seriously an infection-saver, my skin hasn't broken open since and my baby is a really aggressive latcher, even at 2 months. By the way, I've also found this stuff really good for chapped lips/elbows/etc, and even used it to smooth down a few flyaway hairs around my face in a pinch.

After 3 days my cracked nipples were feeling much better. I used the Lanolin after every breastfeeding session for a couple of days until I was cured.

I wouldn't have been able to continue breastfeeding without this!
