Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 Not to mention that it's great for greasing french horn slides (seriously!) Back 17 yrs ago when you couldn't by lansinoh in the stores, I used my french horn lanolin for my nipples. We were inventive back in the old day (and yes I did walk to school for 10 miles in knee deep snow <g>) jen > > >It also clears up rashes on their face ! > >Home Page & (08/06/99) > >> I agree - it works wonders.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 lanolin!!! That is what works for me! Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 I just got over the same type thing and I used pure lanolin cream, it's like really thick vaseline and it works great. I put it on right after I nursed on the cracked nipple. The nice thing about it is you don't have to wash it off before you nurse, its perfectly safe. Just make sure if you do use it that you wear breast pads because it stains. If you ar'nt able to get any right away just use plain old vaseline, very liberally, with the lanolin too. Good luck to you, I can certainly sympathize. ,Raegan~SAHM to~ Colton 93, Kristopher 95, and Chelsea 99 Wife to Tim Re: holes in breast!!!( I guess they're cracks) owwwwww!!! > > > HI- i NEED HELP QUICK!!! i HAVE 3 pin head sized holes(cracks, I guess) in > my right breast.Boy do they hurt!!What is the best thing to put on them?I've > been treating for thrush with gentian violet.I think the thrush is gone, > but these cracks hurt.I need something to heal them asap!!!!Any help will be > appreciated!Thanks- Carolyn > > > Breastfeeding is Best!! > http://www.maclee.com/breastfeeding > http://forums.delphi.com/bf_list/start > > If you like this list also check out http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/weanedbuddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 Carolyn, Lansinoh for breastfeeding mothers is the best for moist wound healing. It is pure lanolin.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 I would have to suggest that you don't use vaseline. It does need to be washed off and can help to encourage yeast growth.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 agreed, but as long as she is does wash it off and keep breasts clean it would provide some relief untill she can get some lanolin.
