If you’re pregnant or trying to have a baby, it’s probably time to give some thought to your nipples. 

That’s right, as well as preparing the nursery and packing your hospital bags, mums recommend popping into your local chemist or supermarket and picking up a tube of Lansinoh Lanolin.

In fact, according to one mum, it will save your life and your nipples!

“Essential item for any new breastfeeding mum”

The Tell Me Baby community has rated creams and oils they have tried. Based on their cream and oil reviews, we noticed many mums are raving about Lansinoh Lanolin. At the time of writing, this product has a 4.8-star rating and 327 reviews, so it must be doing something right. (You can also look at our best skincare for mum comparisons to find the top-rated products.)

Many mums who reviewed this product say it’s a must-have when breastfeeding, but it can also be used for nappy rash and as a lip balm. Although it’s considered on the expensive side, parents say one tube will last ages.

As one parent shares in her review, Lansinoh Lanolin is “essential item for any new breastfeeding mum! One tube will last your entire breastfeeding journey.”

Another added: “This cream literally saved my life (and my nipples!). As a first-time mum I ended up with very sore, cracked nipples, and this cream was sooo helpful in between feeds, it helped ease the pain and stopped my nipples scabbing too much.”

A big bonus for many mums is that you don’t have to wash it off before breastfeeding your baby. 

“This really is a must have for every mum and mum to be! Those first few weeks of breastfeeding can be very painful while the nipples get used to it – not to mention getting cracked nipples. Lansinoh offers instant relief and you don’t need to wash it off before feeding bub! Another great use I have found is for nappy rash!” another mum says.

“Made my breastfeeding journey so much easier”

Others credit the cream to making their breastfeeding journey “easier”.

“I absolutely love this stuff. I have used it for 3 kids now and it truly has made my breastfeeding journey so much easier. It is very thick so you don’t need much of it so it makes it go so much further. I’ve tried so many other brands but this is the best.”

Keep the tube out of reach of children – the cap may be a choking hazard.
