“…The scores ranged from 5.5 to 8.4 centimeters. When verifying how effective these treatments were in reducing pain, scores slightly below those reported by the other studies were found (0.5 to 1.0 centimeters) (Buchko et al, 1994).…”

“…This practice is not supported in the literature, since there are at least two studies that show that the use of tea bags is as effective as the use of warm moist compresses. 13,14 These compresses, because of vasodilation, may bring some relief to mothers with sore nipples. Tannic acid found in tea may actually cause damage to the nipples.…”

AbstractObjective: To present an update review on common problems associated with breastfeeding and their management.Source of data: A comprehensive bibliographic review on the issue was performed by searching publications from the MEDLINE database and from national and international organizations. Books and some key articles cited in other sources were also selected.Summary of the findings: Several common problems that may arise during the breastfeeding period, such as breast engorgement, plugged milk duct, breast infection and insufficient milk supply, originate from conditions that lead the mother to inadequate empty the breasts. Incorrect techniques, not frequent breastfeeding and breastfeeding on scheduled times, pacifiers and food suppliers are important risk factors that can predispose to lactation problems. The adequate management of those conditions is fundamental, as if not treated they frequently lead to early weaning. There are specific measures that should be taken to empty the breasts effectively. Besides, the emotional support and actions that yield more comfort to the lactating mother can not be neglected.Conclusions: Most common problems associated with breastfeeding can be prevented if the mother empties her breasts effectively. If they occur, they should be carefully and adequately approached, thus avoiding the early weaning resultant from painful and stressing situations the mother may face.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2004;80(5 Suppl):S147-S154: Breastfeeding, lactation problems, mastitis, hypogalactia. Common problems during lactation and their managementElsa R. J. Giugliani* 0021-7557/04/80-05-Suppl/S147 Jornal de Pediatria Copyright © 2004 by Sociedade Brasileira de PediatriaThe human species is the only one among mammals in which breastfeeding and weaning are not governed only by instinct. Therefore, breastfeeding and weaning have to be learned. Currently, especially in modern societies, women have few opportunities to learn something about breastfeeding because their traditional sources of learning more experienced women in the family were lost as extended families were replaced by nuclear families. Consequently, women become mothers with little or no ability to breastfeed, which makes them more vulnerable to difficulties during the process. Health professionals play a crucial role in the prevention and management of such difficulties, but to do that, they need specific knowledge, attitudes and skills.The present article reviews the major difficulties encountered in breastfeeding and their management and seeks to provide technical and practical information necessary for health professionals to promote, protect and support the breastfeeding practice. Common problems related to breastfeeding are discussed, including breast engorgement, nipple pain/trauma, nipple infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, candidiasis, Raynauds phenomenon, plugged ducts, mastitis, br...

“…Women who developed nipple pain ratings of 2 or more on the VAS within 72 h after delivery in one or both breasts were invited to take part in the trial and were given written instructions for study participation. The VAS is accepted as a valid and reliable measure for a variety of subjective phenomena and has been previously used to measure nipple pain [20,21] . Pain was assessed on enrollment (baseline) and days 3, 7 and 14 after enrollment.…”

Painful and/or damaged nipples associated with breastfeeding are common and represent a challenge for both the persons experiencing nipple pain and/or trauma and for those providing treatment. However, evidence-based data has been insufficient to demonstrably minimize these common reasons for failure to initiate or continue successful breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of specific-grade highly purified anhydrous (HPA) lanolin versus expressed breastmilk (EBM) for the treatment of painful and damaged nipples associated with breastfeeding in a prospective controlled clinical trial evaluating 84 lactating mothers. Nipple trauma and healing rates were rated by the Nipple Trauma Score. Nipple pain intensity was assessed on a visual analog scale. Outcome parameters were in favor of the HPA lanolin group, reaching statistical significance for healing rates, nipple trauma and nipple pain. In our study, we found HPA lanolin more effective than EBM, inducing faster healing of nipple trauma (absolute risk reduction of 0.43) and reducing nipple pain (absolute risk reduction of 0.61 on day 3). We concluded that HPA lanolin, combined with breastfeeding education, was more effective than EBM, combined with breastfeeding education, in reducing nipple pain and promoting healing of nipple trauma.
