Get yourselves some Lansinoh lanolin nipple cream - i had other stuff to start with in hospital and i still ended up with horrifically damaged nipples, got my mum to get my the Lansinoh stuff when i got home and it has made the world of difference. Make sure its in your hospital bag and you use it from the very start, hopefully you might avoid the painful, bleeding nipples that I had.
 
here here i used this in hospital when waiting for milk to come in its fab xx you can get a couple of free samples from their web page or link in the freebies section here it willl last a good few days
 
just ordered some off amazon 6.99 for 56g, how long will it last?
 
it lasts forever! and not just good for nipps, i use it on my face where i get dry spots aswell. breastfeeding dries me out SO much as i forgett to drink extra, and this cream is the best!
 
already got some!! thanks girls, reading the packet it does burns, nappy rash, dry skin, everything!!

question for you, do you put in on after a feed even if you arent sore? cos it says apply after feed, but is that reguardless? x
 
my nipples have never really been sore but i normally just stick it on now and again really. i dont use it all the time, i mainly use it for my face :D i always put it on after my shower. but if you got sore nipps then i guess just make sure u got it on all the time?
 
Brilliant news thanks Frankie - I'm pleased as I got this when on half price sale in sainsburys for my hosp bag, then another one for my change bag as people were raving about it. Do look out for sainsburys baby sales as they reduce from £9.99 to £4.99 and there on quite often.
 
Aha, nipple cream. That's what I've forgot to put on my list! Thanks
 
its really good stuff! Helped my nips straight away. x
 
Oh thanks frankie...while Ive got my bag sorted tbh its only got stuff like pjs underware etc etc Id forgot about nipple cream!! Off to buy some online now!! xxx
 
Sent OH to buy me some today, was using cheap stuff but it's just not man enough so hopefully things will improve now :)
 
It is miracle cream! I swear by it and have used it after every feed when I was sore and it made a massive difference x x x
 
I used that with my son and it was a life saver!

I put it on after every feed at the moment. I'm just getting towards the end of first tube after 3 weeks although saying that its probably got a few more days left in it at least.
 
You can get it on prescription :D

Even though i am solely expressing i couldn't live without Lansinoh lanolin nipple cream. Where we had tried to get Ellie latched i still have a very sore nipple but this has helped loads.
 
I use this all the time. 6 weeks and still got half a tube left. Really is the dog's danglies!
