Default Re: Owie ;_; Any advice, mommas?

i hope by now thoings are better, (sorry i was mia) but if they are not, i'd recommend using gentian violet to treat you and the little one. thrush (ie yeast) needs to be treated in both the mother and the nursing chnild, or you just keep passing it back and forth.


for the nipple cracks, if that is what they are (i am guessing that is what a nipple gap would be?) there is a great cream called all purpose nipple ointment that you cna get a prescription for from your doctor. it contains an\ antifungal, and antibacterial ingredient, and a steroid based cream top help speed healing. let me know if you need the actual ingredinets for it, as i am not sure how the docs are over there with bf knowledge.
