Products to help with breastfeeding

1. Lansinoh HPA® Lanolin

Sore and cracked nipples are very common during breastfeeding and typically indicate a problem with the way the baby attaches to the breast when feeding. If you develop sore cracked nipples, make sure your baby is attaching well while breastfeeding, and use Lansinoh® HPA® LANOLIN to help soothe, heal and protect sore, cracked nipples.

Lansinoh’s HPA Lanolin is purer than medical grade lanolin, and is hypoallergenic with no need to remove before breastfeeding. It is clinically proven* to provide relief for breastfeeding mums by soothing and accelerating healing of sore cracked nipples after each feeding.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
