Morgan's right - we don't put soap on wounded nipples here, and I 
have never heard of anyone being told to do it....the opposite, in 
fact, as soap can be drying, de-moisturising the skin.

If people ask what to apply, they're usually told to use a 
proprietary preparation....personally, I am not keen on Vaseline, 
though, as apart from its contents (yuk), it is very sticky and 
doesn't get soft and spreadable enough.
