great for other things, too

My baby is four and I just bought more of this! He's not still nursing- this product is the only one that cures my cracked heels. I work out doors in all kinds of weather and just about every foot ointment I've tried was a waste of money. This stuff doesn't just disappear, but penetrates and stays put all day.
AS for nursing- I didn't intend to use this or any lanolin product, becuase I have long time allergies to wool-alcohols and products containing lanolin. Still we came home from the hospital with many samples and soon enough I was desperate enough to try it. All the 100% lanolin nursing products seem to be of a high purity grade and didn't bother me at all- they are considered digestible. Its stickiness is what makes it great for nursing, because, unlike petroleum, it lubricates throughout a feeding and doesn't just rub off on your clothes. My kid seemed to have an especially sensitive and rash prone behind . This product healed a few awful sores when nothing else worked. While some general use lanolin products are reputed to smell bad, this one is odorless. Still, I mix it with some essential oils for use on my feet, just because I like to. Of all similar products, I found this brand to be the least expensive.

This product is very sticky and messy. It did not help me. I used the gerber balm and within a day it helped my nipples feel all better. It also costs less and is not messy at all.

The BEST for breastfeeding moms

I think that this is the best and most helpful product for nursing moms. Nursing moms don't really need much to nurse. It's just them and baby. If you decide to forgo other nursing luxuries like nursing pillows and covers, stools, rockers, fancy nursing bras, etc., don't go without this lanolin. This is what has seen me through. This is what kept me nursing in those rough days in the beginning. I have used this with three of my children. I wish I had it for my first, but I had not discovered it yet. It may have kept me going a little longer. This is an absolute necessity for nursing moms. One tube will last you through weaning. A very little bit of this goes a long way. It is safe to latch baby on after an application, too. I cannot endorse this product enough. I also use this for everything. If one of the kids or I have a cut or scrape I apply this and it heals so quickly. I also use this for chapped lips in the winter and I can tell you there is nothing else like it. This is my #1 product that I could not do without as far as breastfeeding items go. HIGHLY recommended.

Prenatal use?

2008-01-18
In anticipation of our upcoming baby, I took the tube out of the box and noted for the first time that the instructions also recommend its application in the third trimester; as a preconditioner. A customer testimonial included in the packaging indicated that having started the treatment *before* the arrival of her 3rd child made her last breastfeeding experience pain/crack free. Just thought I'd mention this since I haven't seen it discussed in any of the other reviews. I'll let y'all know how it goes! This will be our first baby. Btw, it is slimier than vaseline!

Great for Mom and Baby

I used this for myself while nursing my babies. When the soreness begins it soothes the skin and takes the soreness away overnight. I also use it for my childrens' chapped cheeks and lips. My children have extremely dry skin and eczema and Lansinoh is very soothing to irritated skin. It can be used anywhere on the body. It is nice and thick and mild, and it doesn't burn or further irritate the skin and has no perfume. It is definitely worth the price. A little bit goes a long way.

A Lifesaver!

If you a planning on breastfeeding, be prepared and get this product! No matter what technique you use, your breasts will be sore for the first two weeks of nursing. Rubbing a small amount of lanolin on your nipples after each feeding will help ease the pain and prevent chapping. Grit your teeth and stick it out -- the soreness will go away once your breasts get used to nursing. This is a use-it-or-lose-it opportunity, the more you nurse, the more milk will be available for the baby -- the baby's suckling stimulates your body to produce more milk.

The experience is worth the effort, and breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for your growing baby (formulas, as good as they've gotten, still can't match up). Plus you'll save a TON of money from not buying formula, and it can help burn off some of that extra pregnancy weight!
