How do you treat cracked nipples during breast feeding .. that lanoline oil is pretty whiffy ....
Or do you prefer bottle feeding?

Why don't you just ask your ob/gyn? Or do you not have one? Wait, you are adding to the gene pool?
I doubt anyone here is an ob/gyn so this isn't the best place for answers.
What a profoundly weird post. But since it doesn't break the rules, I guess its legitimate.

Neosporine works best for me.

I'm marking this day down in my calendar - ADG starts a light-hearted topic
Anyway... Regarding your plight - Try any lotion which contains vitamin E. You could also try vaseline (101 uses and counting
) I'm of the opinion that having them massaged every so often is a good preventative measure. Lemme kno if you need any more advice

Vegimite? If it is for an Aussie, why not?

I hardly go to the Cross anymore. Not since I heard they started arresting people for doing it
It's so funny how one street is legal but the others aren't
At least in Canberra the politicians have it all sorted out so they can do it discreetly.

I haven't been picked off yet. But I heard Oxford Street was sanctioned, any other street wasn't

Oxford Street?
Didn't even know there were hookers on Oxford Street?
I suppose there is the *wall* but that isn't technically on Oxford Street?
LOL

Hey..I am an OBGYN...
I recommend lanolin or breast milk to moisturize and protect the nipple.
Also, resting the cracked nipple is helpful.
