Just come back from leading an antenatal evening on breastfeeding, a mother
asked me at the end of the session whether it was ok to carry on using almond
oil on her breasts now and after baby arrives.  She has v dry skin. She says
it keeps her breast skin v supple and is easy to work into the skin, much
better than emollient creams.  I Looked in archives but not enough info for
me to put her way.  All my books are with a trainee bfg counsellor at the mo.
 I feel wary of nut allergy, etc., and of putting anything on breasts.  We
talked about how not to strip her skin of natural grease with use of
bath/shower potions/soaps.   Can lactpals give me more info. Thanks.  Helen
Woodman, NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor, UK.
