Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter
Best overall
Sore, cracked nipples are miserable, and this one is made without lanolin, petroleum, or preservatives, so there is no need to wash it off before the baby nurses. It is also chosen by hospital NICUs, which counts for something when you are too tired to research ingredients yourself.
