I haven't heard of these Val, but have heard reports of success with
cold tea bags,
Paw Paw ointment (Papaya) and also grated carrot. Both would seem more
soothing than Mango or Aloe Vera.

Subject: Cracked nipple remedies (topical)


When I did the antenatal class on wednesday last week, 2 parents
asked about natural remedies for cracked nipples, specifically
about applying Aloe vera and secondly Mango.  Anyone heard
about these?
