Would you use the same amount (a teaspoon?) of liquid lanolin as solid?

I've just lanolised my longies for the first time, and I've put them on my clothes horse to dry (is this ok or should I be drying them flat?) but they still feel 'waxy' is this right? Or have I got to much mixture left in? I tried wrapping them in a towel and squeezing them, have I not squeezed enough?

I would dry them flat if you can, I always pop mine in the airing cupboard away from direct heat. And it sounds like you may have used a tiny bit too much lanolin if they are sticky, but don't worry too much, LO will have nicely moisturised legs for a while!

We don't have an airing cupboard, so I've put them on the bathroom counter (there's a towel radiator under the counter so it should dry them without them being on direct heat. :-?

:oops: It won't cause him any discomfort or to come out in a rash or anything will it? (It's woolishous scented lanolin)

It shouldn't do, I have over lanolised before and Archie hasn't had any kind of reaction at all.
