Review: Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream

This is review will be the first of this blog. It's been a while since I have written one so here it goes...

Whilst breastfeeding, it is common to experience the pain of having cracked nipples. My case was not as bad as those that I've heard develop into mastitis but they did hurt at times. After having done research for the most natural nipple creams, Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream was the one I kept stumbling upon so took to myself to purchase the product and try it out for myself. They say they make the most natural cream and it is safe for both mama and baby's skin. It is so natural that it does not need to be removed before baby feeds.

I instantly noticed the packaging; from they colours and material, I thought they were very appealing to the eye. The lilac making it very feminine and the shiney box giving the impression it would be of good quality. I liked the material the tube was made in as it seemed solid.

Before applying the cream I always washed/wiped, cleaned and dried the nipple area. When first supplying the cream I was surprised to notice that it was a thick gel/petroleum jelly like texture. It is also clear. In needed to massage the tube a little before being able to get some out. I realised I often applied a bit too much at times when I squeezing out the cream. Try about a pea sized amount first then apply more there after.

Instantly I noticed it was very soothing and worked much faster than I had thought. The only pain I would experience was when baby would first latch on. This was due to the nipple still healing from being cracked. After the first few feeds the baby would take after latching on, the pain was gone. I would wipe the area clean after and also baby's mouth before reapplying the nipple cream. It did not affect baby at all after feeding with the cream on.

I only went through about I think two of these tubes of cream, with not even finishing my last one. It worked as I said within days and thought it was so amazing. It definitely helped me and thought it was of such great quality. It is an amazing product and I would recommend this to anyone who has experienced cracked nipples. Stay strong and keep persevering! Remember it's all for our babies. The pain is only temporary and soothes after they start feeding. If you think your situation/pain and breasts are of a worse condition seek your doctor and ask them advice on products.

This was not a PR collaborated review. All opinions are honest and of my own.
