Subj: Re: [DR-L] Always grease your bocal...

Mother knows best! Pure lanolin is only difficult to find if you're
looking in the wrong place for it. Nursing mothers frequently use lanolin
and it is packaged and distributed by La Leche League under the brand name
"Lansinoh." You can find it drug stores and many grocery stores with other
products for new mothers and/or babies. It comes in a plastic squeeze tube
-- very convenient.
