Hello Everyone!
PTP: I am working with a mom who is exclusively pumping. Her baby is almost 6 weeks old. She has developed new cracks on the face of her nipples and I am at a loss as to why. The flange fit is optimal, she's using low suction on the pump and she's caring for her skin appropriately. I have recommended renting a hospital grade pump but the mother is reluctant due to the cost. I encouraged her to call her MD for a rxn for MD for APNO cream.
Any ideas why the cracks are occurring?
As always, I truly appreciate all of your help!!
Amy
