Breast & Nipple AssessmentBreast & Nipple Assessment

Breast: size, tenderness, engorgement, swelling, redness, and for heat

Nipple: asses for: 1. Size : too small or too large? 2. Crack or Fissure in nipple: red, scratched, blister, bleeding, or tender. 3. Short, flat, or inverted nipple:

the areola (dark area around

the nipple) just behind nipple.

Squeeze the tissue gently.

If the nipple is flat or inverted, it will flatten or

retract into the breast instead of remaining erect.

Influencing factors:1) Maternal factors:

- Mother’s beliefs, attitudes, and intention - Mother’s knowledge: learn about the mechanism of milk production and ejection, foods & beverages that promote lactation drink as well as appropriate rest.

2) Infant factors: - Physical abnormalities or other sucking problems. Examined and tested for sucking reflex.

3) Health care provider factors: play an important role to promote and support breastfeeding. Empower mothers to be confident when breastfeeding. Nursing consultation for better care

Other factors: advertisement of formula during hospital stay &

hospital policy; separation of infant and mother after birth.

•Frequent suckling: breastfeeding every 2-3 hrs in order to increase milk production and ejection, and decrease infant jaundice. After initiating breastfeeding, the mother should then breastfeed on demand, or at least every 3 hours during the day and at least every 4 hours at night.

Causes:Causes: 2 phases:1. Early engorged breast, vascular or lymph congestion. 2. Late engorged breast, accumulation of milk. This could be cause by delayed initiation, seldom suckling/ incorrect suckling.

SignsSigns and symptoms:and symptoms: Enlarged, warm, heavy in weight, tight, red or visible vascular under the breast, tender, ‘fever milk when, and in some cases, axillaries lymph nodes are enlarged.

When mother experiences breast engorgement, the areola is tight and the nipple is flat, making it difficult for the infant to latch-on. Mother may also feel extreme pain if the root of problem is not solved or breast milk is not drained.

Causes:Causes: 1. Incorrect position/ breast engorgement: tight and flat areola, infant is able to suck only the nipple instead of areola. Lactation is decreased so as to cause the infant sucks vigorously, accordingly increasing inflammation.2. Mother does not break the suction before removing the infant from the breast.3. Incorrect nipple cleaning such as rubbing vigorously while bathing or using soap to clean the nipples.

Problem solving:Problem solving:1. Assure mother that her infant is able to suck. Infant may not adequately grasp the areola early on. If mother is patient and trains the infant to suck frequently, within 1-2 weeks the areola will become more elastic and the infant can grasp the areola properly.

2. Mother should pull the nipple before breastfeeding by one of these methods including: 2.1 Hoffman’s maneuver

2.2 Nipple puller

Problem solving (Cont.):Problem solving (Cont.):3. Assist the mother to correctly position the infant.4. Mother supports the breast and then compresses hand around the lateral margin of the areola in order to reduce the areola size for ease of latching-on.

5. In case of extreme breast engorgement, compressing with warm water & then express a little milk to soften areola in order that infant will latch on well. 6. In case the nipple does not erect, suggest that the mother use a nipple shield, which is made of thin rubber to help the infant breastfeed.
