What Is Nipple Cracking?
Nipple cracking, also known as nipple fissures, is a common condition that primarily affects breastfeeding mothers. It occurs when the skin on or around the nipple becomes dry, irritated, and sometimes even breaks, leading to painful sores. While nipple cracking can be distressing, it is essential to understand the causes and factors contributing to this condition.
CAUSES OF NIPPLE CRACKING:
Improper Latch:
A poor latch during breastfeeding can put excessive pressure on the nipple, leading to irritation and cracking.
Dry Skin:
Nipple skin is sensitive and can become dry and chapped, making it prone to cracking.
Friction:
The repeated friction between the baby’s mouth and the nipple during breastfeeding can contribute to nipple damage.
Inadequate Moisture:
The lack of proper hydration and moisturization can make the skin less resilient.
Symptoms of Nipple Cracking:
Nipple cracking can manifest with various symptoms, including:
Pain and discomfort during breastfeeding.
Visible cracks, sores, or blisters on the nipple.
Bleeding or scabbing.
Nipple sensitivity or tenderness.
Risk Factors:
Nipple cracking is more likely to occur in certain situations, such as:
First-time breastfeeding or early breastfeeding stages.
Shallow latch by the baby.
Frequent or prolonged breastfeeding sessions.
TIPS TO AVOID SORE/PAINFUL NIPPLES
(The recommendation of the Australian Breastfeeding Association)
Feeding your baby frequently for shorter periods is better than having fewer but longer feeds. Your baby will be calmer if less hungry and will be gentler on your nipples.
BEFORE FEEDS:
❖ Offer a feed before your baby starts crying
❖ Make yourself comfortable and relax as much as you can
❖ Massage your breasts gently and apply warmth to help get your milk flowing
❖ Express some milk to soften the areola to lubricate the nipple
DURING FEEDS:
❖ Offer the less sore side first
❖ Make sure baby is properly positioned at and attached to the breast and that the nipple reaches the rear of the mouth close to the soft palate.
❖ Try different feeding positions. If you wish, restrict comfort sucking while nipples are tender. Gently break suction with clean finger inserted in the corner of baby’s mouth before removing baby from the breast.
AFTER FEEDS:
❖ Check your nipples for signs of stress, such as red stripes or a squashed look.
❖ Express a few drops of milk and smear on the nipple.
❖ Leave your bra open for few minutes until nipples are dry.
❖ Keep nipples dry. Change nursing pads frequently. Consider washable nursing pads if disposable ones are chafing.
❖ Use breast shells or nipple protectors over tender nipples to stop clothes rubbing and allow air to circulate
AVOID:
❖ Using anything on your nipples that is drying or may damage your nipple skin (eg.,soap, shampoo, rough towels, etc.)
❖ Wearing poorly fitted bras and plastic backed nursing pads
❖ Using breast pumps that have strong suction and hurt your nipples
