I was bought a tube of this by a friend when pregnant with my 1st child - a bit of a strange gift I thought, but it turned out to be quite a useful one. The cream comes in a little 30ml tube about 4 inches in length and and 2 inches wide at it's max. It has a pink flip top lid, with a small circular hole underneath, so you can squeeze out the cream like toothpaste. The cream is very light and you only need a tiny amount to make your skin feel very moisturised. It doesn't have any smell to speak of, nor does it really taste of anything (I tried it myself!) I was very lucky, in that although I breast fed all 3 of my children, I didn't ...  Read the complete review

Nipple cream, in my opinion is essential for any one who is pregnant or has a baby. I didn't suffer too badly with sore or dry nipples during my pregnancy, but weirdly enough they were really itchy, which is why I bought this. Since breastfeeding I've had a very stubborn recurring nipple infection as well as dry, cracked, sore nipples in general (sorry for the TMI!), to the point where if I wear a bra or top that's too tight which rubs against my boobs I'm in agony! I've been using the Avent nipple cream since the last month of my pregnancy as I was reccomended to use a moisturiser specifically for my nipples rather than an all over body moisturiser, as these ...  Read the complete review

Kai is becoming more and more demanding and his current refusal to eat food means that it seems like he is nursing non stop. Do you know how much milk an almost fifteen month old child gets through? A lot. It feels like my body is starting to wear down from the amount that he wants to feed and every time he shouts 'bee beeee!' (boobie), I actually cringe because my nipples are so painful! Nothing really helps with the soreness, but I have been using this nipple cream to help with the gross, dry, flakiness which I have been getting recently for the first time in a while, for whatever reason. I am hoping that by using this early on as soon as the dryness starts ...  Read the complete review

I breastfed both of my babies and its something I was really proud about and thankful that I could do. I know some women can't breast feed for a variety of reasons but I'm pleased to say that it was a great bonding experience for me and relatively pain free. I think one of the reasons why it was so pain free for me was that I used nipple cream after every feed, especially in those first few weeks when both mother and baby are getting used to feeding. This is the time that I found my nipples got the sorest as they were not used to being used in this way.  I used various brands of nipple cream and I first came across this one in a sample size that one of the ...  Read the complete review

After a few days of breastfeeding my daughter I noticed my nipples were feeling a little sore. Even if your baby is latched on correctly you can still get sore nipples. As I was kept in hospital for 5 days after having my daughter I was given a sample of this to try. I have since gone on to buy this in Boots. It costs £5.65 for a 30ml tube. The packaging is white with a pink lid and as the tube is small it fits easily in your changing bag. Avent describe the cream as 'light, easy to apply cream that heals and protects sore or cracked nipples' The cream contains Medilan, which is a medical grade lanolin for treating severe skin conditions, the ...  Read the complete review
