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.
