Abstract (provisional)
Jane Scott and colleagues have recently published a paper in the 
International Breastfeeding Journal showing that health professionals are 
still giving harmful advice to women with mastitis. We see the management of 
mastitis as an illustration of health professionals' management of wider 
breastfeeding issues. If health professionals don't know how to manage this 
common problem, how can they be expected to manage less common conditions 
such as a breast abscess or nipple/breast candidiasis? There is an urgent 
need for more clinical research into breastfeeding problems and to improve 
the education of health professionals to enable them to promote 
breastfeeding and support breastfeeding women.
