Its just a vitamin. additionally, you wont use the whole capsule in one use. It seems to quicken healing time of nipples that are brused or have sores on them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34552.aspxSun, 25 Nov 2012 21:39:42 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:34552PediNurseJulie10http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34552.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&PostID=34552<p>Mamatres24 -good to know for people who aren&#39;t thrilled with lanolin!

It has cocoa butter and petrolium which seems to protect nipples. I have used the lansinoh but hate the thickness.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34506.aspxWed, 21 Nov 2012 08:06:10 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:34506PediNurseJulie10http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34506.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&PostID=34506<p>I used my fair share of lanolin in the first few weeks of breastfeeding!
