REGRET: 4 WANT: 1

  • AMAZING. It works so well and I like that you don't need to wipe it off to feed the baby. HIGHLY recommend this stuff to every new mom. May 24, 2023

  • Goes on thick and works to protect the ladies ;) Jan 23, 2023

    • Colby B.

    Very sticky and stains, but it is effective at healing dry, cracked, and bleeding nipples. Nov 30, 2022

    • Lacey T.

    • Colorado Springs , Colorado

    I rarely use this on my nipples anymore although I did at the beginning. I now use it on my very dry cracked lips and it’s amazing for that. Oct 13, 2022

  • I recommend this to all of my breastfeeding friends. This helped me heal from all my cracked nipples. I can honestly say that without this cream I probably would've given up on nursing altogether Jul 13, 2022

    Soothing for sore nipples. Jun 17, 2022

  • I prefer this brand to Lanolin. The consistency is good and it gets the job done but I have switched to an organic, more natural option. Oct 17, 2021

  • I liked this product for the early days, but it does stain so be sure to wear pads or a shirt you don't care much for. When pumping, I preferred to line my flanges with coconut oil instead. Sep 18, 2021

    BEST lanolin cream! It’s easy to apply and it’s not think and hard to apply like other brands. Must have for those early breastfeeding days Jul 14, 2021

  • Used this with my first born and I liked it, however my son wouldn’t want to latch for the next feeding after putting this on May 14, 2021

    • Niki T.

    • United States of America

    Worked great to help with sore nipples. Jan 18, 2021

  • I had great success using this lanolin to prevent cracked nipples. I have been nursing for a few weeks short of 2 years and this has always helped me during times of need Oct 21, 2020

  • This nipple cream was my saving grace for my intense nipple pain! I put it on frequently and never cracked or bled. It's still my go-to ointment when I get sore. It's super cheap as well! Oct 15, 2020

  • Great nipple cream. Also works great for dry/ chapped lips. Aug 16, 2020

  • Very nice and thick to heal sore nips! Aug 16, 2020

    • Beth C.

    • Carmichael, California

    I liked this better than the lansinoh cream, but it was too runny and smelled bad. Jul 20, 2020

  • By far the best I’ve tried . Helped with soreness , cracked bleeding nipples . Had to restock Jun 27, 2020

  • Didn't love this one. Jun 23, 2020

  • I used this after each pump session, and it worked very well, I never had an issue and it always cleared up any chapping issues immediately. Jun 09, 2020

  • I like this, but I do prefer the Earth Mama brand. Nov 14, 2019

  • This stuff saved my breastfeeding journey! We went through a rough patch of bad latching and the dreaded sore, cracked nipples. This lanolin was instant relief and accelerated healing Aug 12, 2019

  • This is the best nipple cream. We like Lansinoh too, but this is softer and easier to apply. Jul 16, 2019

    • Merve G.

    • North Arlington , New Jersey

    This is a must have for a nursing mom. It helped tremendously in the first days with painful nipples. It also makes a good lip balm. Jun 14, 2019

    • Alena T.

    • Raleigh, North Carolina

    This is a bit easier to spread on than the Lansinoh lanolin, which I like. The tube is much larger for comparable size too. Mar 26, 2019

  • It helped with what it was supposed to. I used it for months and found the relief I needed. Feb 27, 2019

  • This is the best. Swore by it at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey and still use it occasionally now—even seven months later. A must have for every breastfeeding mom. Feb 13, 2019

  • This product was long lasting and made a drastic difference when i was nursing my babies! Jan 01, 2019

  • Lansinoh makes a better lanolin that is whiter and less watery, but ultimately I prefer the hydrogel pads for faster healing of sore or injured nipples. Nov 15, 2018

  • For first time breastfeeding mom, this cream is a big helper for healing crack nipples Oct 19, 2018

  • I feel like any nipple cream will help. This just happened to be the one the hospital gave me and worked well. Haven’t tried other brands can’t compare but this did it for me. Oct 13, 2018

  • This is way better then any other brand I have used. When pumping my nipples get so sore and I just use a little of this and it instantly soothes me. Aug 29, 2018

  • I received some of this in the hospital, and I wasn't a big fan. It helped, but it was very sticky/gooey, compared to other lanolin I've used. Aug 25, 2018

  • Really helped heal and prevent cracked nipples! Used it after every other pumping session and didn't have anymore problems with dryness/cracking Aug 24, 2018

    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

    Moms are all about multi-tasking (just ask anyone who can fold laundry, while doing an Amazon Prime order, while playing peek-a-boo with the baby.) Luckily, here's a way to get multiple things done at once, with a lot less juggling...

    UpSpring Milkflow Coffee Pods give nursing women a much-needed caffeine fix—along with milk-boosting duo fenugreek and blessed thistle—in just one cup of joe. A lactation supplement in easy-to-brew coffee? Yes, please!

    Compatible with most Keurig K-Cup coffee makers, each pod serves 55mg of caffeine and 450mg of Fenugreek to help establish or increase a healthy milk supply (hello, growth spurts!). All ingredients are natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO. And don't worry—the pods themselves are made with mother (earth) in mind, too. They're 100% compostable, 100% plant-based, and BPA-free.

    Ready to pop in a pod and get back to that master multi-tasking? Because there's a diaper bag to be packed + car keys to be found.

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • Doesn't separate. Very beneficial for raw nipples due to breast feeding. Mar 10, 2021

  • Love this stuff! It's easy to apply and defintely works. I've tried both Lansinoh and Medela and definitely prefer Medela. Jan 21, 2021

  • I tried this and it was okay. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. It just seemed a little too oily. Nov 05, 2020

  • This is far and away my favorite nipple cream! It goes on so smoothly and is soothing on application. Affordable, love the squeeze tube. I always have at least two around the house! Jun 18, 2020

  • It worked for preventing soreness but there are better options. When this gets warm, it becomes oily which makes it drip and gets messy Mar 06, 2020

  • Must have for breastfeeding mother's. Feb 14, 2020

  • I am currently using this nipple balm and I love it. Safe to use and baby is able to breastfeed without me having to wipe it off and helps my nipples stay moisturize Jan 07, 2020

  • I found lanolin caused extra mess while also wearing a nursing bra and my little one didn’t like the taste while nursing after. Nov 06, 2019

  • Works well. Baby doesn’t mind it and keeps me protected Apr 14, 2019

  • This is my favorite brand of Lanolin, it seems a tad easier to get out of the tube and smear around where you need it, some others seem a little thicker and more difficult to use Sep 18, 2018
