Motherlove Nipple Cream (1 oz) is the only nipple cream in the US to be USDA Certified Organic. Use it on sore, cracked nursing nipples to quickly soften and heal skin. It also helps relieve pain. This creamy salve goes on easily and also serves as an excellent diaper rash ointment. All ingredients are safe for ingestion by baby, so it does not need to be washed off after application or prior to nursing.
This smaller size is great as a trial size, or when mom's nipples only need occasional treatment. It would also be a nice addition to a little Nursing Mother's Emergency Kit that you could create as a baby shower gift to help ensure a new mom does not give up on breastfeeding. You could also include some helpful information about latching on, proper baby positioning, and keeping her nipples clean and dry (even exposing them to fresh air often). Becoming educated about proper nursing techniques will help reduce the potential for sore and cracked nipples, but Motherlove's Nipple Cream will soothe and help heal them in the meantime.
Motherlove Nipple Cream contains marshmallow root, calendula, olive oil, shea butter and beeswax. It does not contain lanolin (which contains several pesticides) or vitamin E (which should not be ingested by infants). Use when needed before and after feeding.
