Lansinoh Brand Lanolin is the purest form of lanolin available for breastfeeding mothers. It does not need to be removed before nursing and because it is completely hypoallergenic, it can be used even by those who are allergic to wool and other lanolin products.
Lansinoh lanolin goes through a unique process that does not require the use of preservatives, additives, perfumes or other chemicals, so it is a totally pure and natural product.
This process means that the cream is virtually odourless, so it will not interfere with the bonding process.
To use, dry your nipples with a clean cloth, then warm a small amount of Lansinoh Lanolin between clean fingers and sooth onto the entire nipple area. It is most effective if applied directly after nursing and does not need to be washed off before the next feed.
Lansinoh Lanolin works by the process of moist wound healing. Studies reveal moist wound healing offers a soothing environment for sore nipples and as no scab is formed healing is accelerated.
Lansinoh coats the raw nerve endings and can provide immediate relief from pain.
If soreness does not start to ease within 24 hours of commencing use of Lansinoh, or if the problem persists, the user should contact a Lactation Consultant, Breastfeeding Counsellor or their Health Care Professional. Unbroken skin is the best barrier to infection, however Lansinoh relieves dryness that can result in cracking and promotes healthy skin, it may prevent some secondary infections.
