Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I wrote this email two days ago and it deleted itself!!! I want to encourage LCs to use coconut oil for nipple healing instead of drugs or other products. Coconut oil is anti-fungal, anti-inflamamtory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. No, I do not love the idea of babies ingesting anything, but given the options, this is my preference. Besides, since it has healing properties, it may actually provide some benefit to babies who are dealing with thrush or gut damage. I also have moms use it for cradle cap--it works very well. My clients really love it. I have taken moms off bactroban after weeks of use and within days with coconut oil, they are finally on the mend. http://www.coconutresearchcenter.org/coconut-research.htm Tow, IBCLC, CT, USA Intuitive Parenting Network LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
