The story about that nipple cream makes me think of
the time one of my childbirth students was told to put
hydrogen peroxide on her nipples.  She was in so
much pain with cracked nipples that her husband
took thhe phone because she was crying and couldnt talk..

Why do professionals recommend suchthings?  Has anyone
ever heard of this?  LLL recommends lanolin or simply drying
bm on the nipple.
