Effect of Lanolin and Breastmilk in the Treatment of Sore and Damaged Nipples in Breastfeeding Women

Breastfeeding Clinical Trial

Official title:
Comparison of the Effect of Lanolin and Breastmilk in the Treatment of Sore and Damaged Nipples in Breastfeeding Women- a Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized controlled study will be conducted at the accredited Baby Friendly Hospital in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study will include primiparas who have established breast feeding at the maternity ward and developed symptoms of painful and sore nipples within 72 hours from childbirth. Participants will be allocated in two groups and will receive education prior to the study.

Clinical Trial Description

Recent studies show that early termination of breastfeeding is often associated with painful and sore nipples. Although health professionals recommend various treatments for painful and sore nipples, including alternative treatments, there is currently not enough evidence to recommend specific treatment of painful and sore nipples in lactating women. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of lanolin administration and the application of breast milk on the intensity of pain and healing of damaged nipples during breastfeeding. Subjects in the lanolin group will apply lanolin on each nipple and areola after each feeding while subjects in the breast milk group will apply several drops of milk on the nipple after each feed and allow them to air dry. In both groups, the treatment will last for 7 days or until the symptoms of pain and nipple damage have ceased. The main outcome measure is pain, which will be assessed through three time points and will be measured using an abridged version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Nipple damage will be assessed by means of a validated assessment tool, the Nipple trauma score. Secondary outcome measures will include breastfeeding efficacy, duration of any/exclusive breastfeeding, reasons for stopping breastfeeding and satisfaction with proposed treatment.The contribution of this study will be reflected in efficient treatment, better care of health professional in the prevention and treatment of damaged and sore nipples, and the study will also contribute in defining the guidelines for the development of procedure in midwifery practice for the treatment of painful and damaged nipples. ;
