I used www.boots.com/en/Lansinoh-Lanolin-56g_26481/ Lansinoh]] when I was breastfeeding DS and my nipples got sore, cost around £10 in Mothercare or Boots.

Am pregnant again and nipples already gearing up for feeding and getting a bit tender. I found Tesco nipple cream and it is great! Only cost around £2 and is in the baby section. Would recommend it.

Sorry that link didn't work Blush

Lansinoh

Lansinoh. You can get it on prescription too, which not many people know!

Lansinoh is brilliant stuff. Brilliant for breast feeding too. My DD is 3 months and I'm on 3rd tube so at £10 a month for pain free nipples its well worth it!

Yes, I swore by Lansinoh - you don't have to wash it off, either, which is handy when you've got a yelling newborn who wants to latch on. I always found it practically impossible to get out of the wretched tube, though - it's really thick. Ended up keeping it stuffed down the front of my trousers so it was warm enough to squeeze out.

Thanks for the replies, i sent dh to tesco for some cream and it has actually stopped the urge to rip my very sore nipple off!

will defiantly sort out a prescription when baby is here!

Ah, my nipples are really quite sore and I'm 26 weeks. Is this normal? Can I do something about it?!

Littlemissmagnet · 28/08/2012 08:52

lansinoh totally worth the money and lasts for ages and ages you probably won't need another tube for a while as it is so thick. Which is a pain to get out but all good things take time.I also used to have a warm (not too warm) bath to help my nipples/breasts and other bits especially when I was post natal. Smile
