Hello all. I am a trained peer breastfeeding counselor for a
Nursing Mothers group outside of Philadelphia. I am fairly new to Lactnet
and have found it quite addicting so far. Your inquiries and comments are
often things I have thought or felt myself. It is great to find others so
concerned with and dedicated to breastfeeding!
I wanted to ask about the moist wound healing protocol posted by
Sarah Barnett. It involves soaking in warm water before nursing and
soaking in a peroxide solution afterwards. I have heard of, and used, the
soaks but used a saline solution (1/2 t dissolved in 8 oz boinling water,
then cooled) rather than the peroxide solution. Is one better than the
other? Do they accomplish the same or different things? Please fill me
in.
I enjoy reading all the comments and am excited to become an
"active" member of such a wonderful group of people.
