About this deal
In fact, there are simply loads of nipple creams available for UK mothers that can make feeding a little bit easier. Creams containing petroleum or parabens are safe for skin application, but are not meant to be swallowed so will need washing off before letting your baby latch.
If this is your first time breastfeeding, you'll likely experience some soreness, which is why most mums start using nipple cream as soon as they begin breastfeeding. Composed of an ultra-purified grade of lanolin, our purple tube nipple cream is 100% natural without any preservatives or additives. Ingredients include nourishing coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that's great for skin protection.Sometimes, through those late nights and nappy changes, you might just want to treat yourself and enjoy a little luxury.
As always, when it comes to little ones, consult your pharmacist, midwife or GP if there’s anything you’re concerned or unsure about and always read the label to check which ingredients are in the cream you intend to use. You can get organic nipple balms for breastfeeding but I used them for dry nipples whilst pregnant with my second! The cream itself is a little thicker than many other nipple creams, which can make it harder to get out of the tube, but it's absorbed quickly and has excellent and rapid soothing qualities.It is also the only lanolin product to have received the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval. However, around 2% of people are allergic, so if you or your baby experience irritation when using lanolin-based products stop using them immediately and look for alternatives. But while lanolin nipple creams don't need to be wiped off before breastfeeding, this ingredient does come from sheep's wool so isn't suitable for vegans.
