Fran, I believe that Vit E and its use on nipples has been discussed, and
these discussions may be available in the archives...if you go to the url
below and do a search.

It is my understanding that Vit E is fat soluble, and that it does not take
too much to overdose a baby on it. Therefore, I do not recommend this. Most
sore nipples have a positioning component, and I would begin with this as an
intervention.

Kind regards,

Kathleen
