Hey Veggiemom I googled it for you and there is a site called OBGYN.NET where you can get answers from an OB Gyn on stuff like this.. anyway the response was to try a cream or ointment that breastfeeding women would use. ↑

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use creams... When your breast feeding they give you lanolin cream... You could try using that.. ↑

I use something called Tummy Honey Butter...it's great, and it smells good, not like the Lansinoh ointment!! ↑

Mine had some tiny shreds of wax in it but I'm ok with it (I'm talking about the Palmers tummy butter) ↑

The tummy honey butter says no animal testing, but I don't know about the ingredients. The only ingredient that looks questionable is beeswax. There's a website listed on the tub - www.mothersintuition.com ↑

I just looked at the site:) They're all natural - I think you'll like their products, and they have something called nipple nurture cream! It's lanolin free. ↑

Thanks all!!! I know the company missmara but I don't use their products :(
I will use some of the Palmer and some of the natural hand cream my husband is using (but not on the nipples) since it's working beautifully on my belly! ↑
