Thank you for clearing up, Jan. Language and culture playing tricks here, again. In my corner of the world moms used to be advised to use vitamin A&D on their nipples to prevent or cure sore nipples.
  Perhaps it is a good idea to keep in mind that this is an international list and that not everyone is familiar with abbreviations and local brandnames.

However, in the US, there is no Vitamin A or Vitamin D in A&D ointment.
