Top 10 Uses for Lansinoh Nipple Cream
After giving birth, I wanted to purely breastfeed my baby because of its many benefits. Including lowering the rates of colic; colic, which causes excessive crying on newborn to infants. I was a colicky baby before and heard many horror stories from my grandparents and mom that they lacked sleep the moment I was born! 🙁
3 days of breastfeeding almost made me want to give up because my nipples were cracked, sore, and bleeding. It was so gross that I thought they were falling out. It was due to poor latching since my baby didnt know how to latch on properly yet. Thankfully I ordered Lansinoh Nipple Cream from ebay and it gave relief to them, and in due time when my baby learned to latch, they werent sore or cracking anymore.
Did you know that this cream isnt just used for nipples? http://blisstree.com/live/top-10-uses-for-lansinoh-lanolin-nipple-cream-fun-facts/ lists down the other uses for this wonder cream

6. Heal cracked, dry winter cuticles or wind- and cold-chapped cheeks.

our developmental psych prof invited a couple of mothers to talk to my class about early childhood yeeeaars ago *lol* but this post reminded me of one of their anecdotes. because her baby wasn't latching on properly, after breastfeeding she'd sit in front of the aircon to help soothe her sore nipples. the first time her husband saw her sitting there topless he didn't know what to make of it until she said, "you try breastfeeding just once and you'll figure out why i'm doing this!" LOL
i'm glad you're breastfeeding your baby and i wish more mothers are able to. ^_^

Hahaha! 🙂 What I did before since our aircon was positioned on the ceiling, I would place my nipples in front of the fan instead.. :p
Thanks for your comment! I hope I could continue to breastfeed even when I return to work
