Hey there,

I'd be careful about any Polysporin recommendation.  It's polymyin and 
bacitracin and is therefore one of the most common sources of contact 
allergy that exacerbates atopic dermatitis.  The rate of sensitization is 
greatly increased if it's applied to inflamed skin. Neosporin contains 
neomycin as well, another potent cause of contact allergy.  Bactroban 
(mupirocin) almost never causes dermatitis and is a better choice (it's 
one of the ingredients in APNO).  Of course, that's a prescription, but it 
is better for the mom and baby.
