[Seven years of experience at a specialized breast feeding

Läkartidningen · Oct 2000

[Seven years of experience at a specialized breast feeding clinic. Incorrect breast feeding technique and milk stasis are the most common problems].

Breastfeeding is internationally important, providing benefits both immunologically and emotionally. A specialized breastfeeding-unit at the hospital Södersjukhuset in Stockholm has evolved continually since its inception in 1993. ⋯ The most common complications in breastfeeding seen at this unit are 1) problems in breastfeeding technique, e.g. nipple wounds cause breastfeeding difficulties; 2) breast engorgement, both with and without bacterial infection; and 3) pain of unknown etiology and infections without mastitis, including Candida and bacterial infections. The most important strategy for treatment is to observe the moment of breastfeeding and give individual advice (the procedure is described).

AbstractBreastfeeding is internationally important, providing benefits both immunologically and emotionally. A specialized breastfeeding-unit at the hospital Södersjukhuset in Stockholm has evolved continually since its inception in 1993. Attendance figures for 1994-1998 are shown, and the treatments for the most frequent diagnoses are described. The most common complications in breastfeeding seen at this unit are 1) problems in breastfeeding technique, e.g. nipple wounds cause breastfeeding difficulties; 2) breast engorgement, both with and without bacterial infection; and 3) pain of unknown etiology and infections without mastitis, including Candida and bacterial infections. The most important strategy for treatment is to observe the moment of breastfeeding and give individual advice (the procedure is described).
