  • 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.

I also would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Tracey Bell for your support and mentorship. I dedicate my work to my family and friends. I want to send a special thank you to my husband, Barry Jordan, for your support and my two children, Keith and Bryce, for keeping me motivated and encouraged throughout the entire doctorate program. I also dedicate this project to many family members and friends who have supported me throughout the process. I will always appreciate all you have done. Through my personal story and the doctorate program journey, I have learned the importance of breastfeeding self-efficacy and advocacy. I understand the impact an adequate support system, education, and resources can have on your ability to reach your individualized breastfeeding goals. Running Head: BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT 3 Abstract Breastmilk is the clinical gold standard for infant feeding and nutrition. Although maternal and child health benefits are associated with breastfeeding, national, state, and local rates remain below target. In fact, 60% of mothers do not breastfeed for as long as intended. During the early postpartum period, mothers cease breastfeeding earlier than planned due to common barriers such as lack of suckling, nipple rejection, painful breast or nipples, latching or positioning difficulties, and nursing demands.

In the early weeks and months, feeding lengths vary from 10 to 40 minutes per side. Offer both breasts at each feeding. Your baby may not always take the second side. Expect your baby to cluster feed to increase your milk supply, especially when going through growth spurts. • at least every 1 ½ to 3 hours during the day and a little less frequently at night. Time feedings from the start of one feeding to the start of the next. Most mothers are able to produce enough milk and do NOT need to supplement with formula. • using proper positioning. Turn your baby toward you while breastfeeding. With a wide open mouth, she takes in the areola along with the nipple. The cheeks and chin are touching the breast.
