Lactation APNO Recipe

Sometimes, during the early stages of breastfeeding a mother's nipples may become cracked and sore. Below is a home remedy that helps treat and soothe this condition.

If sore nipples persist after a few days of use, there may be a problem with your baby's latch mechanism. Please discuss this with your provider at your next visit.

APNO RECIPE
(cream for sore, cracked nipples)

1% Hydrocortisone (1 tablespoon)
Polysporin (1 tablespoon)
Miconazole Ointment (1 tablespoon)

Mix all ingredients in a clean container. Rub small amount on nipples and areola after feeding. You do not need to wipe off prior to your next feeding.
