Brief Answer:
No need to apply anything for the nipple please
Detailed Answer:
Hello... I understand your concern and the most common reason for oral thrush is bottle feeding.
If you're bottle feeding the baby please stop it.
Clotrimazole mouth paint is enough for baby and your paediatrician is right in doing so.
Nothing is required as topical application for the nipple.
