Hi Diana,
I am working with a mother who just delivered and had breast reduction
surgery 10 years ago. She had her nipples removed during the procedure. She has
good sensitivity in both nipples and can easily express colostrum at this
time.
She was delivered by c/s today and the baby was great self attaching. She
stated that as the nursing continued she felt a burning sensation but said it
was tolerable and the latch looked very good. After the feeding when the
baby came off the breast, the whole nipple was white. After a minute the nipple
came back to its normal color.
The Mom denies any problems with cold sensitivity or history of Raynard's.
Do you know if women who had the nipples cut are prone to Raynard's?
Thanks,
Ann
