Help please. I am in so much pain. Last week my we boy got thrush in his mouth. And although it has gone now and my nipples no longer have thrush i have bad cracks around the outside.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get them to heal quickly? ------------- DD 12 DS 9.5 DD 6 DS 4 DD 23 months and here comes number 6 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

Just the usual, air dry and lots of lanisol cream. And time. Ouch, i can still remember that. The good news is they do usually heal pretty quick. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lanisol cream, lots a fresh air and rub milk on them after every feed and let it dry. You need to let them breathe well so dont wear tight stuffy tops. Good luck  -------------

Pawpaw ointment is really good too and it doesn't need to be wiped off before feeding.
We got thrush too so I feel your pain! It's nasty! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I invested in a pair of avent breast shells, meant I could get plenty of fresh air around the nipples, without leaking everywhere, although I dont wear them out as they are rather conspicuous!
I also used lansinoh and within 48 hours my cracks had healed, good luck! ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

Daktarin oral gel for your nips to get rid of the thrush!
Try the lansinoh or pawpaw for healing, and if you want a cheap alternative to breast shells for getting clothes off your nips, cut out egg carton cups and use them instead. Soak all underwear in napisan (and/or canesten laundry liquid if you have it) to kill the bugs. And if the sun comes out, get 'the girls' out as much as poss.
