Hello Magda As far as I know the Daktarin gel was origially meant for oral use in the infant, but was found suitable for the mothers nipples. Doesn't then matter too much if the baby ingests it. The creme as I am informed is not meant for internal use, so therefore should be wiped off prior to feeding. I have had the experience that when the creme dries it sometimes leaves a whitish layer on the skin, making it difficult to see what is actually happening on the nipple regarding healing etc. I think it is important that the mother does not use loads of the gel, it should not smear everywhere. As far as I am informed, and the literature recommends, use should be a little after each breastfeed. Candida Albicans multiplies every 90 mins.
