iHerbMotherlove Breastfeeding Nipple Cream, 29.5ml
Opens iHerb in a new tab; the purchase happens there
Our read on it
The same product that sits in the Amazon breastfeeding section, here at fifty-five riyals against sixty-nine there, fourteen riyals cheaper. Worth comparing before you buy. It is the plant-based option for anyone with a wool allergy or avoiding lanolin, and its lighter texture spreads more easily on sore skin, which is no small thing when touch itself hurts.
Pros
- Fourteen riyals cheaper than the same product in the Amazon section
- Lanolin-free, suitable with a wool allergy
- A lighter texture that spreads easily on sore skin
- Organic ingredients
Cons
- Contains several herbs, and more ingredients means more chance of a reaction
- May need wiping before a feed, unlike lanolin
- A small 29.5ml tube
Important safety information
Check the packaging about wiping before a feed, since plant formulas differ from lanolin here. Patch test a small area first. The cream treats the symptom, not the cause: severe cracking or ongoing pain during feeds signals a poor latch or a tongue tie, and those need a lactation specialist rather than a cream. See a doctor immediately for marked redness, fever or discharge, which can mean mastitis.
