Lanolin is good for sore nipples I used it for the first week because my son wasn't latching correctly. Once I saw a lactation consultant she fixed it and I haven't used the cream since. I'm 3 months pp and I never use cream and my nipples are never cracked or sore. I just let my breastmilk dry on my nipples its actually the best thing for your nipples

Madela has some out that is pretty good it is in a yellow and white tube I think. Lanolin is a good brand and it is in a purple and white tube I think.

I have used the two above and they have worked well for me. Just remember to use it after every feeding.

The hospital gave me a Madela brand one that i didnt care much for. I got the Palmer's cocoa butter nipple cream from babies are us and i loved ot. A bit thicker and less thin and greasy. You dont have to wipe it off before baby nurses either.
