My first baby due in a couple of weeks time and just trying to get the last few bits we need incase we go in to complete lock down!
What would you ladies recommend as the best cheap nipple cream?
Someone recommended the lanolin or expert midwife ones but they just seem quite expensive.
Any other recommendations?

I've got the Lansinoh one which is great but just had a quick look for you and came across this one - www.superdrug.com/Baby/Baby-Feeding/My-Little-Star-New-Mum-Nipple-Cream-75ml/p/632550

Hope you find one 😊 x

Anything that is 100% lanolin will be fine. Get the cheapest one that says that. Don't bother with anything that has other ingredients.

I would usually say don't worry about getting something in, as midwives generally have sample packs and one sample pack might do you (a little goes a long way). They are saying that baby equipment will be prioritised (it's one of the types of shop still open here in Germany) so you might be able to get some later.

If you are concerned though and want to get some in just in case, anything 100% lanolin. Own brand should be fine.

@BertieBotts thanks for the advice
Yes we’re not ones for stockpiling but just trying to make sure we have bits ready for baby/my recovery just in case shopping is even trickier by time baby arrives!

I bought Lasinoh, but I found someone on eBay who was selling two sealed ones, breast milk bags and breast pads in an auction. Got this all for £5 plus postage.
Worth looking, some people bought them and never used them, so you can find yourself spending a lot less buying from them.
