Why not just use good old breast milk on the nipples,I don't recommend using
any sort of cream on nipples these days.Although when I started midwifery,we
use to usezinc ream,castor oil and tinc benz co,sure gave dry nipples and no
cracks but you had to wash it off before every feed and it stained breast
pads and bras.The maternity hospital I work at simply  recommends the use of
breast milk(hindmilk) on the nipples and airing for cracked nipples.
