anyone used kamillosan?

got my period and got ultra sensitive nipples at the moment so doctor as given me kamillosan which i've started using today. anyone else used it? not worked so far its only been a day lol - just wanted no if anyone has used it and what its been like for them?

I used it when had sore nipples after Maya was born: personally I disslike smel, but its working great. Good for cradle cap and nappy rash too. Only if used on nipples: watch for any "leftovers" before feeding, and apply after.

I didn't like it because of having to take it off, which is why I used lansinoh.

It works quite quickly, and you can leave it on during feeds, and the smell isn't offensive either.

the woman at the chemist said i can leave it on to breastfeed - the pharmacist wasnt in though. so was she wrong to tell me that?

It can affect taste of milk for sure :sicky:

might have a look for that lansinoh cream do i have to get it on prescription?

No you can get it in the pharmacy I think, I got mine from Mothercare, though its pricey, cost me nearly £10.

But was the best £10 I have ever spent!


Have a look on ebay, you may get it cheaper on there.

I loved Kamillosan as i had very badly cracked nipples with baby number 1 - it was a pain to have to wash it off (and yes it does say you must wipe it off b4 feeding.

I always used to put a lot on after feeding and on breast pad and then wipe off b4.

With number 2 i used lansinoh as they were dry but not cracked and bleeding. It lasts forever so is not that expensive really. I was told i could not get it on prescription.

Also do give your nipples some aiing time with no creams etc and once they have healed rub a little breast milk into them to prevent drying. But a little wash (no soap though) and airing is what helped me the most this time.
