Nip Cream uses!: Because the baby may ingest anything you apply to the nipple area, it's important to use only those products that are known to be safe. 100% pure lanolin for soothing infection; neosporin, triple antibacterial ointment, or bacitracin. Yeast infection of the nipples try; lotrimin af, micatin, (miconazole) and monistat because of breast milk’s antibacterial and healing properties it makes a good nipple salve.

Nipple Cream: Nipples can be put to the test during repeated breastfeeding sessions. They can become dry, painful and the skin can crack. Nipple cream will help to soften, moisturize & heal these symptoms while improving upon tenderness.
