In addition to the specific treatment against the fungus,
some general measures are useful during treatment, such
as rinsing the nipples and air-dry them after breastfeedings
and expose the nipples to sunlight for at least some minutes
every day. Pacifiers and bottle nipples are an important
source of reinfection, therefore, if it is not possible to
eliminate them, they should be boiled for 20 minutes, at
least once a day.3
