Hi, I found the latest article submitted to the breastfeeding journal very intriguing. I have never heard of using peppermint oil in water for prevention of sore nipples and would like to know if any of you know how much peppermint oil to use. It just said that the peppermint oil was added to 1 liter of distilled water and moms placed this on nipples after breastfeeding. (the study compared using expressed breastmilk or peppermint oil) Anyone know how much peppermint oil to use?????
