Guide Review - Lansinoh
Lansinoh is made from lanolin in a very pure and safe form. The good news is, that unlike other treatments for sore nipples, Lansinoh does not need to be washed off prior to feeding your baby. You only need a small amount of the Lansinoh to cover the entire nipple area, so the tube will last you for a very long time.
You can use Lansinoh as often as you like. Many moms choose to use it after every feeding. Lansinoh helps the breast to heal, though you may still need to address any breastfeeding problems like a poor latch.
