I'd like one too. We see too many moms being given tubes of it for her sore
nipples with out explanations or instructions. I wish the company would make
tiny tear sheets (large print please!) to give each mom. It seems I do more
damage control sometimes due to it being given. It is NOT a cure or fix it.
It is almost always "slathered on" too much which causes more trouble than
not. I explain that it is to be used ONLY on the sore spot, used in just a
dab and after a feeding so it soaks into the skin. I always carry a little
tube in my pocket to show moms how thick it is. It is just an emolient, not a
cure. Fix the problem first. So any protocol must state that an exam takes
place and steps to take based on findings.
