Jennifer, Should the coconut oil be extra-virgin coconut oil or can you use refined? Beth Schwartz LLLL NYC Coconut oil can be purchased ion any health food store and many large supermarkets, although I prefer moms us organic, it is still better than meds either way. When I works with many of my clients who have complex feeding problems, coconut oil becomes household staple as it is so important for gut health and skin health. Never wash it off--it soaks in quickly. Use after every feeding--more if wanted. It is very soothing and healing. *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
