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.
