NUK/Gerber Gentle Moisturizing Balm, Single Pack

This balm is truly wonderful! I hate the greasy mess of lanolin but want something to prevent nipple drying/soreness and this stuff is just perfect! It is super easy and fast to apply (just put it on like you would chapstick) and doesn't stain or leave greasy spots on bra or nursing tops. I just love it! (This is the same product that used to be sold as Gerber Breast Therapy - I called Gerber to make sure.)

This is an excellent product. I am exclusively pumping (long story - daughter won't latch - lost more than 10% in hospital and had to suppliment with expressed milk in bottle - classic case of nipple confusion). This product has been a life saver. It goes on easily cold or warm (unlike lanolin which needs to be warm to apply). The delivery method is great - like a giant chapstick tube - your fingers don't get greasy at all. It also doesn't hurt when it glides over very sensitive, very painful (cracks / wounds / sores). My only complaint is that since it is not lanolin based, it doesn't keep your nipples moisturized for long periods of time which could allow cracks, etc. to scab over...however, I found that lanolin kept my nipple too moisturized which led to never healing nipples. I also had an allergy to lanolin after 2-3 months of use and have since been using this exclusively. Don't know what I would do without it.

I am nursing my third child. I used lanolin with the first two. This is so much easier to use. It has worked just as well if not better. I love the stick so that you don't get it on your fingers!
