I am almost 32 weeks pregnant. I'm trying to start to get my ducks in a row (so to speak) in preparing for who is obviously coming soon

For my first 4 pregnancies I always had cracked nipples at some point. A cousin told me about Lansinoh after the 4th dc. The tube says you can put it on for about 2 weeks before birth to help "prepare". I did this with #5 and #6 babies and I never cracked with them.

It has been several years since #6 plus I have really just begun to learn about all the natural remedies out there.

So is Lansinoh still the best bet, is there something better, or different or I don't know...just thought I'd ask for some advice before I bought a new tube at the store! Thanks!

it's still one of the best things out there as far as I know.

You know not to use soap there when you're washing? it can be very drying.

From what I currently know, it is. One member shared the option of finding organic lanolin.

Love,

Thanks Angie!

I tried doing a search before I posted, but I didn't come up with those...maybe I need some time with the kids' Primary Research Skills book
