I was determined to breastfeed for at least 2 years (as recommended by the World Health Org) when I had my daughter and found it pretty easy and intuitive. I did a lot of reading beforehand and had a doula so knew that it took 6 weeks to truly establish breastfeeding. I received some strange advice from my health visitor in regards to ...

With my first daughter I tried to breastfeed but she simply wasn't interested and since she was so weak after a week I was told by the professionals to put her on formila.

When I had my first baby I really wanted to breast feed but found that after a couple of days my nipples became cracked and sore to touch! As you can imagine this meant it was agony to have a baby sucking on your nipple. It was my aunt who recommended Lasinoh to me and so I headed out to get some. It was a little difficult to ...

All the way through my first pregnancy I was determined that I was going to breastfeed my baby. Apart from believing that it is 'best for baby', it is also free!! And money was going to be tight!

I had this product recommended to me by the nurses at the hospital my daughter was at.

I brought some cheaper cream whilst pregnant ready for when I had the baby. I was really sore and cracked and the creams and chilled cabbage leaves were not helping. My midwife suggested that I buy some lansinoh lanolin cream and it worked so well. It is a really thick liquid almost like vaseline. My nipples felt so much better really ... Read the complete review

Although many people swear by Lansinoh it should not be used as a replacement for getting professional advice about positioning and attachment if you are suffering from sore nipples. It will only mask symptoms and can often make things worse in the long run without treating the cause of the issue in the first place.By all means try it if you are in a lot of pain but your next port of call should be finding a breastfeeding supporter to help solve your attachment problems. Lansinoh is not a magic cream which will make problems go away.
