Lansinoh Nipple Cream

Lansinoh I wasn't a particularly good breast-feeder with my son. I gave up quite early before we had established a good way of going. It was painful, Id had a very bad natural delivery and at the time I didn't realise I was entering Post Natal Depression. Reluctantly I switched to formula feeding, despite having really wanted to Breast feed. It was the right decision for me. He thrived on formula and I was in a better place mentally when the responsibility of solely feeding my son was lifted. I entered my second pregnancy never intending to feed my baby after the pain Id had last time, but ... more

Seven weeks ago my thinking on breast feeding was clear, I would do it for as long as possible or until I had to go back to work. Not a problem I though, easy peasy! Little did I know how much of a strain it is to exclusively breast feed! Firstly, you can never get more than four hours sleep at a time, this caused me to be so tired that I couldn't remember if I was cuddling the baby or not when I woke up! Secondly you get so dehydrated that I couldn't keep my water intake high enough to deal with the need! And thirdly your nipples become so sore and cracked that you wince with pain every time ... more

Having breastfed both of my children, I highly recommend Lansinoh Cream. I had many problems breastfeeding our first born, even though I had support from a breastfeeding nurse. I ended up with very sore, cracked nipples that bled on occasion. I was adamant that I was going to succeed and the midwife recommended that I use Lansinoh Cream to help me through a difficult period of breastfeeding. A 56g tube of Lansinoh Cream costs £10.20 and is expensive. It comes in a Purple box and is widely available from beauty stores and pharmacies. Lansinoh Lanolin Cream is the purest lanolin developed for ... more

Lansinoh After the birth of my daughter, the gorgeous and currently snoozing Eva Rose, I had quite a time of it with the whole breastfeeding milarky. Now firstly, for all you soon to be mums out there, don't believe anyone who says breastfeeding doesn't hurt. To begin with, maybe for a week, maybe for two, you will have some discomfort as your nipples get used to being food distributors for the duration. Getting your baby latched on properly, and positioning them so that you back isn't breaking will also help, but if you do nothing else, get a tube of this and carry it around with you wherever ... more

Breastfeeding is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world. So, how come it is so blooming difficult? My experience is that for the first few weeks, it hurts like hell! I would even go so far as to say it is worse than childbirth itself. In the first two weeks my nipples were ripped to shreds and for the first few minutes, blood would come out rather than milk. You can imagine my horror when I began expressing and there was a steady trickle of red blood! There are a number of reasons that women get sore nipples. The most critical factor is positioning. Your baby should be latched on ... more
