Maybe the doc who is giving this questionable information is
>speaking about the impurities in regular lanolin, not the purified form we

Which a couple of our hospitals give to breastfeeding moms for their
nipples, even though it says on the tube, "for external use only."

Not all lanolins are created equal.
