Medela Tender Care Lanolin

Medela Tender Care Lanolin is an all-natural, hypoallergenic topical cream designed for breastfeeding mothers. It contains medical-grade lanolin that provides a protective barrier to lock in skin moisture, promoting natural healing of sore or irritated nipples. It is 100% safe for babies and does not need to be removed prior to nursing.

Dosage by Body Weight

Wash hands thoroughly before use. Apply a pea-sized amount of lanolin cream between your fingers to warm it, then gently apply to the entire nipple area after each breastfeeding session or as needed. Do not wash off before nursing.
