  • Bleb Protocol
    Milk Blisters/Blebs A nipple bleb, sometimes referred to as milk blister, is a raised white or yellow spot that forms anywhere on the surface of the nipple. A bleb is formed when milk stagnates and clogs inside the milk duct just behind the nipple pore on the surface of the nipple. This is often due to a suboptimal latch. Sometimes a bleb is associated with a blocked duct somewhere in the breast. If the bleb is not causing any pain, generally it should be left alone. If the bleb is painful, or if you have a bleb along with a blocked duct, the following strategies will help to release and resolve the bleb. For more information about blocked ducts, see the www.ibconline.ca. Sometimes a blister filled with clear fluid will form on the nipple this is usually due to a suboptimal latch. If you have a blister, but not a bleb, follow the directions in #4 (below) to help it resolve. 1. Apply the All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO) sparingly after each feeding. APNO with ibuprofen powder mixed in can help to further ease the pain associated with nipple blebs. 2. Apply a warm, wet compress (like a washcloth soaked in clear, warm water) to the nipple before nursing your baby. Keep the compress as warm as you can tolerate without burning the skin. Massage the nipple with coconut oil to try to remove the skin surrounding the blocked pore and then, if possible, nurse your baby. There is no need to remove the coconut o s causing baby to slip while trying to latch.

  • How to Deal with Blocked Nipple Pores Donna Murray, RN, BSN A
    How to Deal With Blocked Nipple Pores Donna Murray, RN, BSN A nipple bleb or milk bleb is a tiny white or yellow spot that forms on the nipple at the end of a milk duct or nipple pore. These small, milk-filled cysts or blockages are thought to be created by breast milk that has become thick and hard. If you have a milk bleb, it might look like a smooth, shiny, singular white dot (similar to a whitehead pimple). Milk blisters are often associated with a plugged milk duct, but they can 2 A nipple bleb can cause extreme pain during breastfeeding, or it might not bother you at all. If it isn't painful, leave the blister alone and breastfeed as you normally would. If a milk bleb is painful, you might not want to breastfeed. However, frequent breastfeeding is necessary to maintain your breast milk supply and can help dislodge the bleb, as well as prevent clogged ducts, breast engorgement, and mastitis. If the pain is bearable, continue to breastfeed as often as you can. If it's too painful, pump your breast milk. A quality breast pump may help remove the bleb. If you get a nipple bleb, you'll want to minimize the discomfort while you wait for it to get better. There are a few things you can do to relieve any pain you might have and help the bleb heal. • Breastfeed often and with proper technique. You can help prevent milk ducts from clogging by using proper breastfeeding techniques, nursing often, alternating breastfeeding positions, and avoiding tight tops and underwire bras.

  • Overcoming Breastfeeding Concerns
    OVERCOMING BREASTFEEDING Presented by: CONCERNS Sue Harmon, IBCLC OVERVIEW • Latch Difficulties • Pain • Tongue Tie • Flat/Inverted Nipples • Engorgement • Mastitis • Pacifiers • Low Milk Supply • Supplementation LATCH DIFFICULTIES Goal is to preserve and protect the milk supply! • Remember, some newborns require additional time to recover from birth effects. • Why is this?* (LAUWERS & SWISHER, 2016; MANNEL ET AL., 2013; WILSON-CLAY & HOOVER, 2005) LATCH DIFFICULTIES Interventions if newborn has not/is not latching effectively in the first 24 hours: • Promote frequent, uninterrupted skin to skin. • Attempt to breastfeed during quiet, alert times, whenever the infant is cueing or at least every 3 hours. • Limit attempts to 10 minutes or stop when infant gives negative cues. •Crying •Pushing away •Demonstrates withdrawal or avoidance behaviors. What are these?* •If occurs, calm the infant and attempt later. (LAUWERS & SWISHER, 2016; MANNEL ET AL., 2013) LATCH DIFFICULTIES Continued… • Avoid activities immediately prior to a feeding that can disrupt attachment reflexes. What activities might do this?* • Encourage mother to perform breast massage and hand express colostrum on her nipple and baby’s mouth during attempts. • Encourage patience, practice and persistence. (MANNEL ET AL., 2013) LATCH DIFFICULTIES If the baby continues to feed poorly: • Continue to perform breast massage and hand expression with each attempt. • Assist in obtaining a quality, double electric breast pump for use until the baby latches and breastfeeds effectively.* • Encourage the mother to express milk: •A minimum of 8 times daily •For 15 minutes until milk flow stops •Manually to completely empty the breast •Consistently, even during the night (LAUWERS & SWISHER, 2016; MANNEL ET AL., 2013) PAIN Pain is the #1 reason why mother’s quit breastfeeding PAIN – WHAT’S NORMAL? • Nipple tenderness is normal in pregnancy and early postpartum due to heightened nipple sensitivity.
