I am still working with a mom of a 4 week old, baby had tight lingual
frenlum that we got clipped and things improved greatly after that and mom
has been using Jacks all purpose nipple ointment, but she still has one
crack on each nipple, theses are different than any I have seen, one is
horizontal and one is vertical, if she gently separates the crack you can
see that deep in the crack at the base there is healed skin, but the crack
above is still a crack and causing pain, we have changed positions
frequently, breastfeeding is ok but not really enjoyable for this mom.  I
was wondering if she would be a candidate for the clear coating for the
nipples that I have read about on here? I can't remember the name of it so I
don't know what to search for in the archives.  Any help would be most
appreciated as I am calling this mom in the am for another follow up.

TIA
