Found a 1930 article on Tea Tree oil. Doesn't mention nipples, but really touts healing properties :-)
Another fascinating one is "The Folklore of Breastfeeding" by Marie Walter in 1975, about myths and BF. Google it and you can read it.  She mentions using cabbage leaves for drying up when weaning!
 
Pat in SNJ - who is into the history of infant feeding files :-)
