Hydrogen peroxide for cracked nipples? OUCH!  Why on earth would anyone use
this product? It's not a healing substance.

If you're looking to kill bacteria and other pathogens, the milk itself
works better and is more gentle. Besides, this does nothing to address the
CAUSE of the wounds and rawness!

Bad idea, IMHO. Certainly not research-based!!
