Hi,

You can appear Vaseline (Vaseline baby) there, but a specific diaper cream will be more apt. Also try to keep the area clean and dry as far as possible. Yes, you can, and you should continue breastfeeds.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
