Frugal Mom: All Purpose Nipple Ointment

I used Dr. Jack Newman's recipe for the homemade version of All Purpose Nipple Ointment, which one of the labor and delivery nurses gave to me after she saw all the blisters.

Dr. Jack Newman's recipe for All Purpose Nipple Ointment

1. Mupirocin ointment 2%: 15 grams

2. Betamethasone ointment 0.1%: 15 grams

3. To which is added miconazole powder to a concentration of 2% miconazole

Total: about 30 grams combined. Apply sparingly after each feeding. Do not wash or wipe off.

NO SUBSTITUTIONS

Take equal parts Polysporin, Lotrimin, and Cortisone.

Mix in small batches and use after anywhere from 4 to all feedings in a day, remix every 3 to 4 days.

The Polysporin has to be the brand name but the others can be generic.

It was a lifesaver and no need to find a compounding pharmacist to mix it.
