Dear Lactnet Friends:

http://www.cochrane.org/CD007366/PREG_interventions-for-treating-painful-nipples-among-breastfeeding-women

Authors' conclusions:

There was insufficient evidence that glycerine gel dressings, breast shells
with lanolin, lanolin alone, or the all-purpose nipple ointment
significantly improved maternal perceptions of nipple pain. The results
from these four trials of good methodological quality suggested that
applying nothing or just expressed breast milk may be equally or more
beneficial in the short-term experience of nipple pain than the application
of an ointment such as lanolin.

The quality of the evidence for this review did not lead to robust
conclusions regarding the objectives assessed. We included only four
trials, incorporating 656 women, in the review and all four trials compared
varying interventions, participants, study outcome measures, and standards
of usual care. The methodological quality of the included studies was good
but the overall quality of the evidence for the primary outcome of nipple
pain was of low quality, mainly because single studies with few
participants contributed data for analysis.


warmly,
