is using "Callandullah" (not sure about the spelling) on her nipples for
soreness. She said her husband said it would not harm the baby.
I have looked in the archives but did not see this mentioned, especially
applied to the nipple. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for
any info. >>

Linda,
Calendula is commonly used for sore nipples by natural practitioners. I
prefer it to lanolin and suggest it to mothers open to natural care. It is
considered to be completely safe and heals wounds, abrasions, etc very
quickly.
