Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream is a popular nursing ointment to bring relief to chapped and sore nipples. Lansinoh is the No. 1 recommended brand of nipple cream containing 100% lanolin, a natural emollient that moisturizes and slows down water loss. What makes this brand stand out from other lanolin topical ointments is the lanolin undergoes Lansinoh's proprietary refining process. This specialized method incorporates Hydroxypropyl Acrylate (HPA) to maximize the effectiveness of natural lanolin, providing a safe product for mom and baby.
Keeping mom comfortable and happy is important to the longevity of breastfeeding. As nipples begin to lose moisture with the onset of breastfeeding, they can crack and even scab. Applying Lansinoh Lanolin Breast Cream soothes the nipple and begins to reverse that damage and prevent further water loss and chapping. In addition, a Silicone Nipple Cover can be applied directly over the nipple to create a barrier if chafing occurs against the nursing bra.
Applying the Lansinoh Lanolin Cream is simple and easy. Using a clean application finger, smooth over the cream onto the nipple and reapply after each feeding to prevent further chapping. Additionally, applying nipple cream prior to showering reduces the discomfort and sensitivity associated with when the breasts are exposed. Because the lanolin is clinically tested to be safe, the cream does not have to be wiped away to prepare for each feeding.
Choose from two sizes of Lansioh Nipple Cream. A popular size, Lansinoh 10020, is 1.41 ounces and will pack nicely into a diaper bag or purse. The Lansinoh Lanolin Minis provide a three-pack of miniature .25-ounce tubes to have cream on-hand no matter where you are nursing. Place a tube on the nightstand, end table, and diaper bag and you will always be prepared.
How to Apply Lansinoh Nipple Cream
- Start by washing and drying hands to have a clean finger to apply the cream.
- Squeeze out a small pea-sized amount of the cream onto a finger.
- Apply to the nipple, rubbing it in in a circular motion.
- Repeat after each feeding and before showering for ongoing protection.
The Difference Between Lanolin Nipple Cream and Organic Nipple Balm
Both of these top-selling nipple creams by Lansinoh offer relief to sore nipples and dry skin. The Organic Nipple Balm does not contain lanolin, but uses organic ingredients to hydrate and protect the nipples during breastfeeding. The balm provides an alternative to individuals who may have an allergy to lanolin, who are vegetarian/vegan, and for the mom who looks for products with organic ingredients.
