Lansinoh is the world's purest lanolin and has been specifically developed for the treatment of sore and cracked nipples alongside help with positioning and attachment (often the underlying cause of sore nipples).

Lansinoh HPA® Lanolin has received the endorsement of the British Allergy Foundation by being awarded its Seal of Approval. This confirms that Lansinoh HPA® Lanolin is more suitable for allergy sufferers as it has been scientifically proven to reduce exposure to allergens.

How Does It Work? Lansinoh works by the process of moist wound healing. Studies reveal moist wound healing offers a soothing environment for sore nipples and as no scab is formed healing is accelerated. An important additional benefit of moist wound healing is that it offers immediate pain relief, an urgent need for any mother with sore nipples.

Directions For Use

With clean hands soften a small amount of Lansinoh between fingers and apply to entire nipple area after each feeding or as needed. Lansinoh lanolin does not have to be removed prior to breastfeeding.
For your comfort and to help protect sensitive nipples you may also apply Lansinoh before showering.
Lansinoh should be used in conjunction with addressing the cause of the soreness. See additional reference material on causes of sore nipples.
If soreness does not start to ease within 24 hours of commencing use of Lansinoh, or if the problem persists, the user should contact a Lactation Consultant, Breastfeeding Counsellor or their Health Care Professional.
Lansinoh lanolin used by itself is not a treatment for sore nipples caused by thrush (Candida albicans) or a bacterial infection.
Lansinoh 100% pure lanolin can be used in conjunction with treatment for skin conditions. Unbroken skin is the best barrier to infection, however Lansinoh nipple cream relieves dryness that can result in cracking and promotes healthy skin. It may also prevent some secondary infections.

By providing a partially occlusive moisture barrier, Lansinoh lanolin slows down the body's natural evaporation process. This allows the skin to restore its own natural moisture from the inside out.

Lansinoh lanolin can be used also to soothe chapped lips, nappy rash, dry skin on elbows, heels and knees, itchy stretch marks, minor cuts, burns and skin abrasions. Useful for all the family!

We Say: There are many lanolin products available for breastfeeding Mums, but having tried several different ones we are certain that none of the others are as good as Lansinoh Lanolin. Lansinoh is so named because it is lanolin (Lan) without (sin) alcohol (oh). The allergen responsible for lanolin sensitivity is present in the free lanolin alcohol portion of lanolin. Lansinoh's unique process reduces the free lanolin alcohol proportion to below 1.5% – other grades of medical lanolin are only able to guarantee a maximum of 6% free lanolin alcohols. So you can be sure of using the most pleasant, safest, lanolin for you and your baby.

You Say:

"This product is a must have for those first few weeks when your body adjusts to breastfeeding. Your nipples can become very sore and irritated at first and this cream really helps soothe and heal your nipples. You only need a small amount for each application so you will find that the cream lasts for ages. The price may seem expensive but in reality it is really good value for money as it lasts so long. I have used this product for the last four months, since my baby daughter was born." - Esther, Bridgend (December 2009)

"It got me through the first 2 weeks of sore nipples from breastfeeding! It might seem a bit pricey but it is worth every penny, one tube lasts for ages even if you use it after every feed! Also you don't have to wash it off before feeding baby, unlike some other nipple creams. I used it every day for the first 2 weeks of breastfeeding after my daughter was born. I still use it occasionally and she is 3 months old." - Rowan, Edinburgh (October 2009)

"An indispensible find for every breastfeeding new mum. It really helped my nipples heal and stay comfortable when getting to grips with breastfeeding." - Antonia, East Sussex (June 2009)
