 Hello Everyone!

PTP:  I am working with a mom who is exclusively pumping.   Her baby is almost 6 weeks old.  She has developed new cracks on the face of her nipples and I am at a loss as to why.  The flange fit is optimal, she's using low suction on the pump and she's caring for her skin appropriately.  I have recommended renting a hospital grade pump but the mother is reluctant due to the cost.   I encouraged her to call her MD for a rxn for MD for APNO cream.

Any ideas why the cracks are occurring?

As always, I truly appreciate all of your help!!
