I don't know if I would do this, Diane, but if it was a good idea, I would use calendula baby soap or maybe a very 
dilute Dr. Bronner's. I would be more inclined to use colloidal silver in water, though, I think. And mama milk of 
course. I sure would hate to see people using most of the soaps on the market in the US. I have a theory that 
"beauty care products" are the nation's dumping ground for the waste products of industry (not that our food supply
doesn't get its share). The last thing I would ever put on a nipple (of any human skin for that matter) is vaseline!

Subject: mild soap

When we suggest "mild soap" for wounded nipples, what kind of soap do we =
mean?  If you have favorite brands and don't want to post them, I'd love =
some private endorsements.
