Baby skin question

[haykay13]

Hmm maybe coconut oil or lanolin?

[meggypoo1]

Coconut oil or lanolin would be my go too!

Am I remembering incorrectly, I thought you weren't suppose to swallow lanolin ?? I was going to suggest chapstick.

When Jake was teeny he did that.

I used grapeseed oil and put legwarmers on his arms.

Isn't it safe thought if you BF?

I thought you were suppose to wash it off before nursing.

I googled...
There are a lot of anti lanolin pages because sheep are treated with pesticides (like pets) so they don't get fleas and they use chemicals to sanitize wool before getting the lanolin out. Soo those people recommend not using it or wiping it off before BFing. Lansinoh says you don't have to wipe it off before BFing.

Maybe that's what I am thinking of

I've always heard lanolin is safe when BF. If chemicals are a concern, I used the Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter.

Would rubbing actual Breast Milk work? It works wonders on everything else, lol I used it and squirted it on her face for those pimples when she was done nursing and sleeping.

Otherwise, Aquaphor and then maybe covering it in something since I'm not sure if aquaphor can be ingested.
