Diane,
        I also received the sample of hydrous lanolin that you mentioned. I am
hesitant to recommend it to nursing mothers for their nipples because it
states right on the box "Warnings: For external use only. Do not use in
the eyes. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case
of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance or contact a
Poison Control Center immediately."
