Ok - I have a question for you all re: Gentian Violet.

 

On Jack Newman's site it talks about aqueous solution GV - I can't find that
in my area - and I believe his is also a .5%.  Here we have a 1% in alcohol
- very strong.  I have my recommendations for dealing with this as I have
had more than one mom follow Jack's handout directions (which are fine for
the aqueous solution but not for what we have here) and end up with a baby
with ulcers in their mouth as a result.  I would like to know what others
are dealing with and what your recommendations are.

 

Thank you!
