New Mom Compounds

Greer’s Goo

A topical cream used for babies with a diaper rash, compounded with zinc oxide paste, nystatin powder and hydrocortisone powder.

  • Zinc oxide paste—an emollient, nystatin powder—anti-fungal, and hydrocortisone powder—a steroid, act as a moisture lock barrier on the skin while relieving symptoms of the rash.

  • Wash hands and affected area prior to application. Apply a thick coating directly to the affected skin with every diaper change up to 4 times a day.

Jack Newman’s All Purpose Nipple Ointment

A topical ointment used to treat effects from breastfeeding, like sore nipples, skin and yeast infections, and inflammation.

  • Mupirocin, an antibiotic that helps best with bacteria found growing in abrasions/cracks in the nipples. Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, which decreases inflammation. And Miconazole, an anti-fungal agent, all compounded in a petroleum base that promotes healing, moisture, and acts as a protective barrier.

  • Apply sparingly after each feeding. Do NOT wash or wipe off, even before next feeding. Continue use until pain-free for a few consecutive days, then decrease frequency over the next few days until stopped. APNO should be used for the shortest period of time necessary. The ointment can be used safely for 2-3 weeks (for up to max 7 weeks).
