The lauric acid promotes healing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949367 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 06:14:18 +0000 hilsy85 949367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: totally safe for baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949129 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:57:31 +0000 maybebaby 949129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: is the olive oil safe for baby or do you have to wipe it off prior to feeding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949109 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:23:38 +0000 Ginger333 949109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been told not to use it after two weeks - I've been using mine for weeks and weeks (if not months) on the regular with no drying or anything ... e-mail Dr. Jack Newman about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949097 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:15:13 +0000 shopaholic 949097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped using it right after my 2nd tube got filled. Even with co-pay it's so expensive I wouldn't throw it out! I've never been told the 2 week thing about it. I still use it here and there if they feel sore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949069 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:56:35 +0000 hilsy85 949069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: agree with the steroid comment...my LC told me to alternate with olive oil or mother love nipple cream as apno can also e very drying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949034 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:34:47 +0000 maybebaby 949034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Excellent! @hergreenapples: Wow, I had no idea..yikes. @cmomma17: Mupirocin 2% ointment., Betamethasone 0.1% ointment, Miconazole powder to a final concentration of 2% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949025 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:29:20 +0000 heartonastring 949025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine to use it sparingly when needed. Just be careful not to use it too much, as the steroids in it can caused thinned skin, which, obviously......ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949016 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:26:43 +0000 cmomma17 949016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are the ingredients? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-949013 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:25:39 +0000 hilsy85 949013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely! That stuff is magic, I swear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apno-all-purpose-nipple-ointment#post-948992 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:10:27 +0000 maybebaby 948992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a script for this soon after LO was born (he is now 7 weeks). It says only to use it for 2 weeks, but I still have a lot of the stuff well. I wonder if it is OK to use it sparingly here and there, like right now when we nips are scabbed up again :( Anyone else use it and then keep it on hand for use later? </p>
