you want something that is 100% lanolin, I think. I just use Lansinoh that I got from the chemist. hth

[Lila]

OH Bek - thanks a million!!!
so you just go to your everyday chemist and ask for LANSINOH??
i know what i am doing this morning :)))))))

[gremily]

Yep, lansinoh for breastfeeding is perfect.

If you want to buy online there are plenty of stores that sell solid, liquid and/or spray lanolin.

[Lila]

thanks gremily-
you know- i want to have it- and i want to have it NOW!!!
so i will go and try for my chemists first...but maybe need to fall back onto the internet option anyway....
:yelclap:

[Lila]

ok, got the lansinoh
now-
how do i use it??
can anyone help, please??? :kiss:

[Lila]

cover no.1 is soaking in lanolin :) :smiliedance:

[gremily]

For each cover use a pea sized amount dissolved in hot water. Put soaker in lukewarm water and pour dissolved lanolin over the top. Some ppl also add a bit of soap/detergent to disperse the solid lanolin better. I've never done this before so I'm not sure how well it goes.

I used to use Lansinoh but a couple of mths ago got some liquid lanolin. There's no way I'll use anything else anymore - it's just too good!

[Lila]

you made me curious!! I WANT TO HAV LIQUID LANOLIN- NOW :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[gremily]

It's definitely a MUST on my list!
Sustainable Hemp Products is where I got mine - $10 for a bottle which lasts forever:yes: . You only need to use such a small amount.
There's a few other places that sell the liquid but can't remember off the top of my head. I think The Wee Wuns might, and possibly Baby Soft Landings.

I second liquid lanolin - so easy!
