>>>modified lanolin
glycerin
pro vitamin B5
What is the difference between modified and ultra purified? What Vit is
pro B5 ?<<<

Hmmm... I wonder if that means women or babies that are allergic to
wool/lanolin would react?  Know anyone allergic to wool who would be
willding to do a patch test on thier arm for you?

Also, what is the vit B5 derived from?  Vit B5 is pantathenic acid.  I have
no idea what the "pro" means except its something you hear in hair
commercials a lot -- I suspect it's marketing hype.  I am concerned about
what it is derived from and thus if it might trigger allergies in the baby.
Same with the Glycerin.
>>>I am currently removing this from our pts packes until I can get more
reassuing data on it.<<<

I would too.
>>>They told me that they wouldnt sell
something that was not safe.  What do you all think??????<<<

I think that's what they will say until its proven to be a problem.  There
have been many products put on the market that have been found to be
dangerous.  I have doubts that J&J really understands how dangerous a
nipple cream can be -- to mother and baby.
