This for Barb with the lanolin issue.  Our pharmacy was dispensing the  same 
Lanolin with the same warning. It was terrifying Moms and staff  alike.  I had 
an arrangement with Lanisoh to give out samples with the LLL  Sore Nipple 
information sheet.  It was great. Then we got flak because our  system doesn't 
allow samples to be given.  So we are not giving out the  reassuring stuff and I 
have met with several individuals in the Pharmacy to get  the reassuring 
stuff.  Meanwhile back at the mothership hospital they give  out PureLan.  So I 
mentioned to the Pharmacy that the main hospital gives  and okays this product.  
So now they are looking into getting it on board.  It's been several months 
now and still the non reassuring product makes it way  to the floor. Mom's get 
home and someone reads the label and they call the  Lactation Services person 
(this is someone from the Mothership hospital) and  here we go again...infact 
I will probably hear about it this week..."what are  you people giving out!?"
Meanwhile I have a ton of the purple stuff sitting on my shelf.  Plan  of 
sneakiness is to pull off the purple sample and give the sheet out  solo...hang 
on to the samples to give out in dire emergencies and we all know  they do 
happen occasionally.  Meanwhile have to push using colostrum and  EBM and air dry. 
 We know it works but in this day and age of goops and  gimmicks the 
population wants to product not the easiest item available.  
But for your sanity get rid of the product with the warning label...talk to  
Pharmacy buyer and educator and post a sign for docs who order the stuff 
either  to not order it and order a LC consult so you can educate.
Good luck,
