It contains lanolin, aloe vera and coconut oil. I noticed is only sold in GB. It runs about $10/tube. I’m interested b/c of the coconut oil. I can’t find any nipple cream with coconut oil and without a lot of other ingredients. Those of you recommending coconut oil, are you purchasing bulk and packaging it yourself or what resource do you use?Thanks,June , RN, IBCLC, LLLLOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I’m concerned about coconut allergies.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 it's fine...i guess i'd rather my newborn taste coconut oil than lanolin. my preference. i let my babies lick carrots, apples, etc. i see it as normal for babies to taste foods in their environment...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I have never had anyone allergic to coconut -- that would be a first for me in 25 years of taking histories to include food allergies. But -- as said, people can be allergic to anything. Simple question to ask: Are there any foods you are allergic to? If coconut, don't recommend coconut oil....

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I have three tree nut allergic people in my family... It is my understanding that it is not common for those with other nut allergies to be allergic to coconut. Two of my people are anaphylactic to multiple tree nuts yet eat coconut and coconut oil without issue. I don't have a reference for you though.
