Lansinoh! If your nipples are too sore to touch, put a huge glop of it on a breast pad before you put it on.

Hi
Thrush is a type of yeast infection I believe. Back in the old days, ne Mothers would wipe the mouths of babies with thier urine soaked diapers.....NO LIE.. I know it sounds gross, but they claimed it worked. Thankfully we have modern medicine today! As for sore nipples, I used the utter creme you can get this at places like Walmart. Vaseline would work I believe if you kept yourself greased well and kept them covered in between feeding times. Hope you feel better soon!

ya i used a purple tube of lansinoh that had a pic of a breastfeeding mother on it. It was awesome, id put it on constiently because its ok to nurse without wiping it off. Its also multipurpose so when i couldnt find the diaper cream i could use it for rashes too

It is, I love it. I've been using it for years on my chapped lips and hands.
