The active ingredient in Bag Balm is quinolone sulfate.

Quinolone antibiotics have been associated with joint problems in young animals.

I don't know if Bag Balm would be safe for ingestion by human infants.
Considering their small size and the relative inefficiency of the neonatal
liver and kidney (compared to adults), I have a concern about its use as a
nipple cream.  What do the MD's on the list think?
