I have called Joanns, been to craft stores and walmart and nobody knows what is lanolin. I went online and see target sells it, it seems it is used for the breast too? Is this the same one. Should I buy that one or just find it online?
Yup, lanolin (usually Lansinoh brand, I hadn't ever seen the other you posted) is a breastfeeding godsend, not something they would know much about at craft stores. I used it myself last time around, long before I ever thought of cloth diapering. And since I never finished a full tube, I'm getting it for dual purpose reasons when I have this babe in May/June. Even at the usual price, it's worth it since a little goes a long way.
go to your local pharmacy and ask them to order it. You can get a pound for 13 dollars (of the hydrous kind which means water added) It looks a little bit creamer this way. When I priced a pound of anhydrous (without water added) it was around $30. Pretty good when compared to a two oz tube for $8 at target. It can also be used to hydrate dry cracked skin just put it on at night and in the morning viola, and it doesn't burn like lotions when your skin is cracked... it's good to use at night because it is so thick an takes so long to sink in. During the day I have to keep applying because it wipes off.
