this is an ongoing thing. I have very little faith any cream i try will be a one hit wonder, otherwise, why would they come in oz tubes? no, youll certainly need more, and youll need to try a few to find the one you wanna swear by.
as ive mentioned previously, i have tried some lanolin creams, and havent been too impressed, but the severity of my nipple damage is high, so i dont fault the creams. i can only say MY experience and who knows, maybe i just have really difficult nipples.
The one im using right now is The First Years Nipple Butter. Lanolin free made with nut oils and organic butters. I like thatg its a lot softer, silkier to put on, not as thick as lanolin, and its not tested on animals. which makes it a little bit of a WINNER! :) but the true test is the nipple test. and my nipples right away felt more comfortable during my pumping sessions. i havent tried many times with baby at breast because im scared, and i can still feel pain, but the pain of pumping has been reduced for sure within a day. also, after a particularly bad feeding at breast i found a huge crack on my nipple, and went out to buy supplies that night. i started using this one, and the crack seemed to close overnight, even though pain was still evident, it appeared much better. im guessing these things need time.
im gonna try a little more, and also let them air dry a bit here and there. things can be a bit rough on the nips, so i gotta make sure im giving the product full opportunity to succeed. believe me, i WANT nothing MORE than to feel BETTER in my nipnips.
ill keep you posted!
