Anyone know?
Does anyone know what I can put on my nipples for eczema while breastfeeding? Something that's safe for my baby!

Things that can soothe the nipples (do one at a time, not together) lol
- warm the lanolin (not hot) to smoothe on more easily and not pull the skin
- make an infusion of Lipton's tea, about five teabags in a cup of hot water, make it dark, dark, dark, then cool and save the liquid. Dab onto the nipples with a cotton ball
- wrap sore breast in cold cabbage leaves
- make a solution of white vinegar and water, dab on the nipples every time after nursing
- go around the house letting your bare nipples be exposed to the air

Lansinoh makes a great product that is food grade lanolin that works terrific for the chapping and cracking. I have nursed 3 children and used this product.http://www.lansinoh.com/products/hpa-lanolin
