<< Dear Leaders,

 I need your help ASAP!

 My local LC just called for my input on one of her patients.  Mom whose
 nursing a 4 month old was admitted today for severe burns. She has 2nd and
 3rd degree burns on her breasts, including nipples. Her nipples are
 completely blistered.  LC cannot use cabbage leaves,or use pump on breast
 tissue due to condition of her skin, pain, and chance of infection. Nursing
 the baby is out of the question also for same reasons. So is hand
expression.

 Has anyone had any experience with burned breast tissue??   I told the LC I
 would post to this list. She is not online and I'm not on Lactnet yet, so
 could someone please post this to Lactnet for me?>>
