split on my nipple, what to use to heal it?

[sparklygothkat]

am having tp pump on the left side as Callum doesn't feed well on that side but its split and reopens each time i pump. what can i use?

Lansinoh is supposed to be the business, but £10 a go! Can you hand express? Might be more gentle than the pump?

moist healing is most recent advice - lansinoh worked a treat for me.

I read rubbing with breast milk was supposed to sooth and heal.

There was also some lotion from mothercare that was good (but my info is 7 years old)

maybe not heal, prob just sooth.

I'm no help at all.

lansinoh. sgk have you spoken to a bf counsellor yet? i have been thinking of you and hope you can get proper support to do what you want to.

Jelonet or other dressings for moist wound healing are good. Don't let the split dry out.

can't hand express, i have some purelan 100, it says it contains lanolin, will that help?

Kellymom has the wet healing info
I took painkillers and just fed on the duff side (pumping made it worse), realise this may not be an option for you

I used Kamillosan and also took some stuff for thrush
Doc gave me the Kamillosan on prescription

Lansinoh.

Worth 10 x the price

Worked a treat for me. Hope you heal up soon.

try to get lansinoh, on prescription if necc. other stuff isn't as good (i use boots rubbish nipple cream for putting on ears when hair dying)

lansinoh is just lanolin, sounds as though purelan is prolly pretty much the same. use after every feed, don't remove before next feed. hope it helps.

it says its 100% lanolin. came free with my pump.

am seeing the breast feeding counsellor on friday fishie.

Moondog says these silverette things are the business but they are v. expensive.
