Kamillosan Chamomile Ointment

Kamillosan Kamillosan is an ointment which is designed to help sore nipples due to breastfeeding. Made with chamomile, it is supposed to soothe and calm sore nipples as well as help with nappy rash and other minor skin conditions. I used this for about a week when Eva, my little girl, was 1 week old and found it to be absolutely no help at all. The cream stung when I applied it to the sore bits, and I was more than a little concerned at the array of non-baby-friendly ingredients my baby would be ingesting every time she fed. Things like hydroxybenzoic acid. I don't know what it is or what it does but I was damn sure my gorgeous baby wasn't going to be ...  Read the complete review

I have fairly severe eczema which can flare up at a moments notice, I liken my eczema to the little girl with the curl as when it's good it's very very good, but when it's bad it's horrid! I mentioned to my daughter in passing that I have had a flare up on the backs of my knees which has resulted in the skin cracking meaning whenever I move it is very sore and inflamed. My daughter dug into her changing bag and handed me a tube of Kamillosan, advising me to use it sparingly on the affected area for instant relief of the pain that my cracked skin was causing. Kamillosan is really a cream designed to stop the chafing and soreness of the nipples which ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my daughter I did the obligatory purchasing of all the goods I was told we would need after her birth. Kamillosan was recommended to me during one of my antenatal classes as a "must have" for breast feeding mothers. The product is designed to soothe painful nipples while breastfeeding and with this one there is no need to wash it off before breastfeeding. It is cooling and moisturising in a bid to ward off the dry, cracked nipples that are all too often associated with breastfeeding. I was one of the fortunate ladies who didn't suffer with sore nipples during breastfeeding so found my tube of Kamillosan to sit in ...  Read the complete review

I always knew that I was going to breastfeed my baby, but I didn't know how painful it was going to be. For the first few days I was fine but after that I started to get really sore during each feed, especially the night feeds when I was absolutely packed full of milk, as my baby slept for a good 5 hours. I would put him to my breast and grit my teeth at the beginning of each feed, it was pure agony. I mentioned this to my community midwife and she got me Kamillosan on prescription, so I didn't have to pay a penny for it. I had looked around town for nipple creams but couldn't find any anywhere. I used this cream straight away ...  Read the complete review

I've just been reading other people's reviews on this and I didn't know it could be used for sore nipples! I must remember this when my next baby is born as I always have some Kamillosan in my baby cupboard!! I bought this when Sudocrem (which is what I thought you HAD to use at all times on your baby's bottom due to advertising and the free samples in bounty packs) caused my daughter's bottom to go haywire - it made any slight rash ten times worse, and the screaming fits...well.... And so I still have a bumper tub of Sudocrem in my cupboard and nowhere for it to go. Anyway, back to the Kamillosan, it really works on nappy rash! I think it must ...  Read the complete review
