Dear Folks:
  So what if gentian violet has more alcohol in it than beer or wine!  Is the
baby going to be fed 8 ounces a day of it? Won't the alcohol evaporate once
the drop or two of GV is applied with a swab? Good grief, let's keep some
perspective here.
  GV is my favorite anti-fungal: cheap, easy to use, mother has control, and I
have never had a mother report any problems after painting nipples, areolas,
and baby's mouth once, skipping two days, and painting again, then repeating
this cycle for two weeks  (which is 7 doses). Although after RAINBOWpeds post,
it might be better to do it for four weeks. Thanks, RAINBOW! Warmly, Nikki Lee
