Dear Lacineters,
I have a pt. with NO areolar tissue... she has small, soft (for now breasts) &
everted nipples, which have become very redened & sore over the past few
days. I have never ran into this atomical chalange before! He opens his mouth
wide, but even I am confused as to how he is suppose to effectively compress
the milk out of the breast & not tear up mom's nipples. He was delivered 2
days ago, and I did began hydrogel therapy on mom yesterday, which she
states has soothed them, but experiences pain with each latch.
Any suggestions???
Pam
