Thank you, Yasmeen. I'm always interested in Indian uses of various things
in food and in health as they have such a long history of use. I guess the
anti-fungal effects and anti-bacterial effects explain why is it helpful on
nipples and the diaper area.

Just to add Coconut oil is used as cooking oil in regular cooking in
southern part of India. Although it has a distinct and strong flavor, it is
very commonly used in India as a home remedy such a diaper rashes, common
skin ailments, nipple soreness, bleeding nipples, mouth ulcers, hair oil,
general skin inflammations ect. This is found to be highly effective and
quick remedy.
