Tiffany,
I would also like to see Ms. Blair's references on this. Lanolin is not
dispensed as a medication. It is more in the category as ointments used on
baby's bottom. The lanolins used in OB are marketed for lactating nipples,
so I don't see how they say non approved substances. What harm did Ms. Blair
site?
I think lanolin is over used but I don't see what harm it has done.
Interested in your response.
