Hello everyone,
I just got a call tonight from a 2nd time bf'ing mom of a 2 wk old
who has had tender nipples from the start. Her latch in the
hospital looked good, but I did work w/ her toward getting a deeper
latch because her Lt nipple after 24 hrs had a red mark diagonally
across the nipple, and was sore. She began using Dr Newman's all-
purpose nipple ointment at that time and has continued it. She calls
tonight to say that this nipple is getting worse and has started to
show "green pus" drainage on her breast pad. Baby also had a fussy
night last night, but has not refused that breast. The other nipple
has improved. She is going to bf on the "good" breast and pump the
other until I can see her on Monday. I've never run into this
before. Any comments?
Thanks,
Diane Tate, RNC, IBCLC
