Can you use erythromycin ointment for chapped nipple?

First: erythromycin ointment can be used. Pay attention to keep the nipple clean when not feeding.

Second: wash off erythromycin ointment with water before the baby sucks. Don't let the baby eat it in the mouth.

Third: it's best to stop breast-feeding at this time, keep dry, let it recover by itself, and then breast-feeding, during which you can squeeze out the milk for the baby.

matters needing attention

I also want to emphasize: after breast feeding, after washing the breast with warm water, it is OK to smear olive oil or Johnson Johnson skin care products on the chapped area. When feeding the baby again, it is OK to wash it off and keep the breast dry and clean.
