I was thinking last nite that I wonder if the incidence of mastitis would go
down (a nice prospective study to do?) if we instructed moms in prenatal
classes and in bf advice to WASH THEIR BREASTS AND NIPPLES WITH A MILD SOAP
and rinse well, with their regular bathing routine. Rather than telling moms
to avoid getting soap on their nipples - which BTW I don't say. Would a
regular soap and water wash be helpful or would this dry the skin or remove
the Montgomery secretions? What do you all think?
