Traci asked: Can a mother breastfeed through a hydrogel sheet? Can she
express?
Traci, I should have made that clearer. Hydrogel sheet dressing is
a "piece" of hydrogel that can be placed and removed from the nipple as
needed. It is bacteriostatic and anti-fungal, and can rinsed in cool
water by the mother at each feed. The gel sheet is not on the breast
during feeds or pumping.
