An absolute must-have for new breastfeeding moms.
October 25, 2018
Absolutely a MUST for breastfeeding moms. I could not have gotten through those first weeks without this. It took me about six weeks to get comfortable breastfeeding. Now at three months I don’t need it anymore. Use a little dab after you breastfeed each time. Don’t skip it! It helps heal your nipples after each feeding. I am lucky that I overproduce and so I only give my baby one side each time she eats and that gave me even more time to heal after each feeding. This will stain clothing. All my nursing bras have little spots on the inside, but who cares about an ugly nursing bra anyway? You’re already going to leak milk in there. I used this on my baby’s chin too when she started to get a friction rash. Luckily it cleared it up in no time and she looked flawless for her newborn photos. You can even use this as diaper rash ointment. To all the new moms out there - you’ve got this! The first two weeks are the hardest and then I promise it gets way better! My baby is three months old today and I hardly remember the struggle of healing from a c-section with no sleep trying to figure out how to feed my baby. I felt like I was a terrible mother but we eventually figured it out. Don’t be afraid to pump for a few days to give your breasts a break and just bottle feed your baby. You can always supplement with formula if you need to. “Fed is best” and driving yourself insane isn’t good for anybody...but either way get a tube of this stuff. It’s the bomb!

BEWARE OF FAKE MEDELA PRODUCTS

I received a fake nipple cream! It says 56.7g on the label. I also compared it with the one I already have and it looks so different.

I got a sample in the hospital so I thought I'd buy more until I realized is leaves a greasy stain on shirts so I have to wear a bra when I use this which I prefer not to while lounging around the house with my newborn. I agree with reviews that it's easy to apply, comfortable and does it's job well. The smell is faint and not chemical scent, so don't let that stop you. My baby eats fine with it, no change in her and if it weren't ruining my lighter colored clothes I'd recommend it.

I used this ointment frequently with breastfeeding my newborn. It certainly improves any soreness or discomfort to your nipples. I rated it with only three stars because as it is an emollient, it leaves oil stains on anything coming in contact with it. All my nursing bras and most of my tank tops are now stained right around the nipple area. If you cover them with nursing pads after application, you run the risk of them drying to the pad which later can create a scab when it is removed. The best way to use this product is if you are going topless, which isn't always feasible with a newborn.

I don't prefer this to other brands because it turned my cotton breast pads yellow. It's not clear, but had a yellow tint and stains. I like that it goes on smoothly.

I like this compared to the Lansinoh Lanolin because it is easier to spread, especially when you have tender nipples. But I prefer the Lansinoh, Medela Lanolin has a weird taste, Lansinoh's doesnt have any taste. Better for my baby I think.

Frustratingly hard to push out of the tube. I had one given to me that worked great and was easy to get out of the tube. They must have changed something with their packaging because the one I purchased was so frustrating I stopped using it.

every blog I read insisted every new mom have this. pretty sure it made the pain worse. I ended up using regular Vaseline and then switching to a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water after every feeding and letting the girls air dry. Nothing works better than time...

Good quality and soothing but my baby had a bad skin reaction to it.

Does the job, but leaves oil stains on my bras! It has a yellow hue, and so it will leave yellow stains, even after washing with Shout and other oil removing detergents.

I do not like the smell

The cream seemed to work well to sooth sore/raw skin around nipple area. However, it must leave a taste that doesn't wipe off well without scrubbing in the shower because my newborn would not feed from the breast after use.
