The Dr. Lipp Nipple Balm certainly wins the award for most versatile product, boasting a number of uses in addition to soothing sore nipples, ranging from eyebrow shaping to shoe shining (yes really!) It depends what you want from your nipple cream. We chose Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream as our best overall nipple cream because it’s really raved about, has natural ingredients, soothes and moisturises, and is hypoallergenic. As mums, we’re often told that breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world and whilst this may be true, natural is not necessarily synonymous with easy. If you feel like you’re struggling with breastfeeding then rest assured you’re not alone. Comforts sensitive skin, nappy rash, itchy stretch marks, burns, abrasions, dry skin patches and can be used as a naturally moisturising lip balm. My preferred products for stretch marks were Burts Bees Mama Bee, Mamma Mio tummy butter plus Palmers cocoa butter' - brand recommended by Mumsnet user bananaramama

Yes, applying a small amount of olive oil after breastfeeding can help prevent soreness and you don’t need to wash it off before breastfeeding. Like Vaseline, it provides a cheaper alternative, which some mothers prefer. What to look for when choosing a nipple cream Painful nipples are one of the harder parts of breastfeeding, so having a great nipple cream to hand can be a huge and pain-relieving help. We’ve got expert advice and helpful recommendations for the best nipple creams when you’re breastfeeding. How can a nipple cream help when you’re breastfeeding? Creams made of organic oils or medical-grade lanolin will almost certainly be fine for both you and your baby. Creams containing petroleum or parabens are safe for skin application, but are not meant to be swallowed so will need washing off before letting your baby latch. Can you use Vaseline as nipple cream?

Many of our recommended creams do not need to be washed off before feeding, but bear in mind that if you use too much just before a feed your nipple may become too slippery and prevent your baby from latching on properly. Is it safe to use nipple cream? We consulted experts and healthcare professionals to ensure our recommended products are safe to use and approved by those in the know. There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to the application of nipple cream but many of the mums on our forum said they chose to apply it after a feed to help relieve pain or discomfort after baby has latched.

Senior Midwife Clare Herbert explains "Nipple creams are available as balms, creams and serums, and each will vary in consistency and texture. One is not superior to the other, it is very much dependant on personal preference." Ingredients include nourishing coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that's great for skin protection. Mumsnet has been helping parents make their lives easier since 2000 and, in those years, we’ve seen, tried and reviewed thousands of products. Finally, we collated all of this research to bring you our list of the 10 best nipple creams for a variety of needs and budgets. It's made from ultra-pure, medical-grade lanolin and we like that it's tasteless and fragrance-free. The tube is just 15ml though, so it's not the most cost-effective option, despite its versatility.

Weleda specialise in organic products and their popular nipple balm, which was developed by midwives and pharmacists, is 100% Certified & Natural Organic (certified by Natrue). This balm does still contain lanolin though so if you’re allergic, this isn’t the option for you. If you decide to breastfeed your baby, you may well find that the journey isn’t as smooth as you’d hoped. One of the main reasons for this can be nipple pain. By using LLansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream with support from a breastfeeding expert, you can continue comfortably on your breastfeeding journey.I’m currently using the Mama Mio oil not the cream and it’s just amazing and definitely worth the money. Smells really fresh too and doesn’t make me nauseous' - recommended by Mumsnet user PurpleIsTheColour Our verdict Sore nipples are very common during breastfeeding and can often be a result of the uncomfortable positioning of your baby at the breast. Fragrance: Some of our recommended creams are heavily scented whilst others are completely fragrance-free. Most fragrances are created through the inclusion of natural ingredients such as coconut and mango and, whilst they won’t do your baby any harm, some mums prefer to use something unscented so as not to interfere with baby’s feeding, particularly in the early days. There are also numerous support networks and professional bodies who can help. Your midwife will be on hand to support you through those first few weeks and the NHS have an excellent comprehensive list of places where you can find support with breastfeeding.
