Your needs: Such as if you need a cream that’s vegan, lanolin-free, organic, for sensitive skin etc. 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.
Fragrance: Some of our recommended creams are heavily scented whilst others are completely fragrance-free. Most fragrances are created through the inclusion of natural ingredients such as coconut and mango and, whilst they won’t do your baby any harm, some mums prefer to use something unscented so as not to interfere with baby’s feeding, particularly in the early days. Finally, we collated all of this research to bring you our list of the 10 best nipple creams for a variety of needs and budgets. I’m currently using the Mama Mio oil not the cream and it’s just amazing and definitely worth the money. Smells really fresh too and doesn’t make me nauseous' - recommended by Mumsnet user PurpleIsTheColour Our verdictAs mums, we’re often told that breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world and whilst this may be true, natural is not necessarily synonymous with easy. If you feel like you’re struggling with breastfeeding then rest assured you’re not alone. My preferred products for stretch marks were Burts Bees Mama Bee, Mamma Mio tummy butter plus Palmers cocoa butter' - brand recommended by Mumsnet user bananaramama There are also numerous support networks and professional bodies who can help. Your midwife will be on hand to support you through those first few weeks and the NHS have an excellent comprehensive list of places where you can find support with breastfeeding. It's made from ultra-pure, medical-grade lanolin and we like that it's tasteless and fragrance-free. The tube is just 15ml though, so it's not the most cost-effective option, despite its versatility.
In case you're wondering, lanolin is a naturally occurring soft and waxy substance that comes from wool-bearing animals, usually sheep. Medical-grade lanolin is used in a wide range of skin and beauty products due to its excellent moisturising qualities. It's also the most common ingredient in popular nipple creams. If you decide to breastfeed your baby, you may well find that the journey isn’t as smooth as you’d hoped. One of the main reasons for this can be nipple pain. Ingredients include nourishing coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that's great for skin protection. Mumsnet has been helping parents make their lives easier since 2000 and, in those years, we’ve seen, tried and reviewed thousands of products.The Dr. Lipp Nipple Balm certainly wins the award for most versatile product, boasting a number of uses in addition to soothing sore nipples, ranging from eyebrow shaping to shoe shining (yes really!) Creams made of organic oils or medical-grade lanolin will almost certainly be fine for both you and your baby. 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. Can you use Vaseline as nipple cream? There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to the application of nipple cream but many of the mums on our forum said they chose to apply it after a feed to help relieve pain or discomfort after baby has latched.
