Product Description

Size: 2 oz

All the healing power of lanolin, in a new, glide-on formula that's easier to apply. Traditional lanolin ointments can be thick and sticky, which makes them painful (not to mention messy) to put on sore nipples. This silkier cream goes on gently and smoothly, providing healing relief without intense rubbing. 100% safe for baby; no need to remove before breastfeeding. 2 fl. oz. Heals and moisturizes cracked, tender nipples In testing, moms preferred this formula over traditional lanolin What's different? The addition of beta-glucan, a baby-safe substance which improves the lanolin's texture. Made by Medela(R), the leader in breastfeeding solutions

5.0 out of 5 stars Great January 19, 2009
By M. Tran
Size Name:2 oz
I have tried both Medela & Lansinoh lanolin ointments and find the Medela much easier to apply. The Medela is a yellow thinner ointment so it's easy to squeeze out of the tube and apply, while the Lansinoh is clear but very thick and almost impossible to squeeze out and spread evenly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Causes a rancid smell............... September 17, 2010
By Trinity
Size Name:2 oz
I was amazed! This product applied super easy (compared to Lansinoh Lanolin) and made my irritated nipples feel better in no time. Absolutely great. Couldn't have asked for more. However after about 3 days into using this product I started noticing the smell of something rancid like spoiled milk or spit up. I kept checking my daughter, thinking that she'd had some spit up and that the smell might come from her clothing or her bib. No matter how often I sniffed on her I just simply couldn't find the cause for this horrible smell. And I was so sure I could smell it.
Within the next two days the nasty smell kept intensifying. I would now constantly smell it which was sickening and nauseating. On the 6th day I noticed just that smell coming from myself (the breast area to be specific). I had not worn a bra and pad all morning so I had a little bit of leakage on my shirt. I went to change clothing and when I pulled the shirt over my head I started gagging immediately. The Medela Tender Care Lanolin in combination with the smallest drop of breastmilk causes the rancid smell. Never in my life would I have thought that it could come from myself as I am cleaning my nipples after every pumping or nursing. I immediately stopped using Tender Care Lanolin and it still took about two more days for the smell to fade away.
Also I noticed that my daughter is latching a lot better now. But thinking of it I wouldn't want to eat neither if I had to put up with this horrid smell in my face during feedings!
I would definitely give it a 5 star rating if it wasn't for that nasty side effect. Instead I have to give it a 1 star rating as it affected my daughters feeding in a negative way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Contains c8/c10 which is fat!!! July 16, 2010
Size Name:2 oz|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got a small sample from the LC and it worked great. I like the smooth silky application which is great in cold weathers. But when I bought a tube of it, I notice a funky smell. I study the ingredients and saw it included C8/C10 Triglycerides which is goat milk oil, palm oil or coconut oil. The goat milk oil gives it s rancid smell which made me and my baby gag! So I only use it for pumping! I would recommend Lansinoh for breastfeeding since it really is 100% pure. Just warm it up by rubbing it between you thumb and finger or in warm water. Also I apply the excess on my lips so I know what it baby is tasting too! Lansinoh does work as a all natural lip balm!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great but Does Smell Funky February 16, 2011
Size Name:2 oz
Pros:
- Moisturizing
- Works quickly
- Glides on smoothly

Cons:
- Funky smell

I got a bunch of samples from the hospital. The smell really bugged me at first. I don't know what it's from but according to a previous reviewer, it's from the lanolin (aka "goat oil" or wool wax -- [...] So I guess no matter which brand of lanolin you get, it's going to smell funky. I also learned about Lansinoh's lanolin but heard it has a different consistency. I like the consistency of the Medela Tender Care Lanolin. It's like the consistency of lip gloss (those in a tub) so application was very easy and it's not runny. I don't like the funky smell but it's tolerable (for me at least) and it doesn't bother my baby. I stuck with this instead of experimenting because it does work really well. Usually after a few hours, the soreness and dryness would be gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars great as baby lotion and diaper rash cream too! April 5, 2011
By mbig
Size Name:2 oz
This lanolin cream is soft and easy to spread, unlike the other brand. It is good for the breasts for breastfeeding, but it has other uses too. I use it on my baby's raw parts when he has diaper rash and it clears it up quickly, without making it too dry. Plus, I use it on my baby's face checks when they are dry and it works great here too. I figure, if it's safe enough for a baby to get in his mouth, it is safe enough to apply on his face (without the chemicals usually in lotion).

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved me the first three weeks of BFing! March 19, 2011
Size Name:2 oz|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was given the Lansinoh brand of nipple cream in the hospital and it hurt to put on because it was so thick (like wax!). I got the Medela brand at my baby shower but forgot it at home. When I got home and was able to use it, what a difference! It goes on so smoothly and really helped to keep me from getting chapped. I buy this for all my prego friends and family now.

Tip: Swipe it in the nipple shield of your breast pump right where it starts to narrow to make the suction motion smoother on you. The lactation consultant at the hospital showed me that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Option for Sore Nipples! February 5, 2010
Size Name:2 oz
I was given samples of Lansinoh in the hospital and really did not find it helpful because it was so hard, and hurt way too much when putting it on. I didn't think I was going to be able to continue to breastfeed because of the pain, but within a day of using the Medela lanolin after each feeding, the pain became very mild and completely tolerable! The Medela lanolin is much softer, smoother, and easier to put on. I felt like I was torturing myself when spreading on the Lansinoh lanolin and expected the same from Medela, but I was desperate so I gave it a try...what a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended!!!
