In next 21 days we have World Breastfeeding Week 2019 event which planed World Health Organization for all over the world, we are going to submit useful information for you as our partners .

 

There are some disease special for mothers, some before infants, some after, and some both times! In pregnant duration, by the time the skin is stretching more and more till ninth month, using EVOO as night cream is one of the best solutions, is could help the skin to have less damages in skin before infant coming and after infant breastfeeding!

Some mothers tolerating severe pain in nipples while they do breastfeeding their infants. Generally, it has two-categorization # one: Nipple Cracking in Lactating Women, and # two: Nipple Trauma Among Lactating Mothers.

Researches shows that ECOO's are so efficient to cure the illness and reduce the pain. Here we would like to introduce you both ways along with statistics and more information that is useful:

 

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of EVOO in the prevention of nipple cracking in lactating women. 

Methods: Experimental, prospective, randomized study of 300 lactating women, admitted to the postpartum unit of the city's general hospital (Cienfuegos, Cuba). The study was carried out in 2012. Eligible patients were randomized into two groups of 150 women. In Group 1, EVOO was applied on the nipple after feeding, and in Group 2, drops of breast milk were applied to the nipple after feeding. Clinical evaluations were made during the first week of treatment and after the first month. All women who initiated breastfeeding were considered eligible to be included in this study; breastfeeding was characterized as the moment of mother-child interaction with suction on the nipple. Efficacy was evaluated quantitatively, as the absence of cracks in the nipple during the first 2 weeks of lactation using as the proportion of women with or without nipple cracks, and if present, whether they were moderate or slight. Results: The quantitative efficacy was 97.3% and no adverse effects occurred in mothers and newborns during the administration of EVOO. Discussion and conclusions: EVOO helps prevent nipple cracking in lactating women. It has been shown to have protective effects when breastfeeding presents technical difficulties. This conclusion is borne out by the frequency distribution results obtained, which reflect a significantly higher proportion of nipple cracking in the population that was not treated with EVOO. Linking evidence to action: Use EVOO to prevent nipple cracking during breastfeeding by administering 3 drops on each nipple after each feeding. Decreased nipple cracking will reduce pain and enhance breastfeeding by administering 3 drops on each nipple after each feeding, improving the health of mothers and infants.

 

Nipple trauma is among the challenges that a lactating mother may face during early postpartum period.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of olive oil on nipple trauma among lactating mothers. 

Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was carried out at three private obstetric centers in Menyat El-Nasr City in Dakahlia governorate from January 2017 to July 2017. A purposive sample technique of 116 lactating mothers suffering from nipple trauma at their early puerperal period were chosen according to the inclusion criteria and assigned randomly into two equal groups of 58 lactating mothers; group one was the study group who rubbed olive oil on nipple after each feeding; group two was the control group who received routine pharmacological management for nipple trauma according to physician prescription. Two tools were used to collect the data; Structured Interview Schedule, and Nipple Trauma Score. Results of the present study showed that, majority of lactating mothers who used olive oil had faster recovery of nipple trauma post intervention more than control group with statistical significant differences. Conclusion: Olive oil is a safe natural method that can be used to treat nipple trauma among lactating mothers.
