This stuff is basically magic for cracked, painful nipples and the single-ingredient formula means it's safe for baby without wiping off. Perfect for every breastfeeding mum's hospital bag, though some find the thick, sticky texture a bit off-putting to apply.
⚠️The 10ml tube is tiny and won't last long if you're using it multiple times daily, so stock up with a larger size if breastfeeding is going well.

BubsNest expert analysis of 5 parenting forum discussions
“Highly recommended by midwives and mums for soothing sore nipples”
Loved It
The Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream is widely praised by UK parents as an effective solution for soothing and healing sore, cracked nipples during breastfeeding. Many note it provided immediate relief and helped their nipples recover faster. A few minor complaints about the thick texture and difficulty squeezing it out of the tube, but overall it seems to work well for the majority of users.
What parents love
Worth knowing
Best for
- Breastfeeding mums with sore, cracked nipples
- Those looking for a pure, natural nipple cream
May not suit
- Parents who prefer a lighter, easier-to-apply formula
Tips from parents
Warm the tube in your hands for a few minutes before use to soften the thick texture and make it easier to dispense.
Consider buying the smaller 10ml tube if you're unsure, as a little goes a long way.
