Nipple Cream

Jessica
Has anyone ever tried their belly butter on dry and cracked nipples? I hear about the pain associated with breastfeeding and the nipple creams recommended. However, I'm on a budget and I've still got plenty of belly butter left. It's Mama Bees. It seems to have some of the same ingredients (Shea Butter, vitaminE) that goes into the creams so I was wondering if this would also help with the breastfeeding woes. Thoughts?
