Hi everyone!  It's possible to make a homemade version of this "Newman type"
nipple cream without a doctor's prescription or compounding.  You can use a
dab of OTC triple antibiotic ointment, anti-fungal cream, and hydrocortisone
cream.  Just mix a dab of each together with your fingers and rub gently
into the nipple/areola tissue after feedings.  The active ingredients are
gone from the surface of the skin in approx. 30 min., I've been told, so the
baby will not ingest anything.
*If you're careful with your wording, you can suggest this to a mother
without "giving medical advice", or "prescribing".*  It works wonderfully!

Warmly,
