Praeclarus Press Hosts a Webinar February 2 with Dr. Carmela Baeza to Teach Clinicians How to Help Breastfeeding Mothers with Sore Breasts and Nipples
Amarillo, TX (PRWEB) December 30, 2016 -- Breast pain and sore nipples are common problems in the early weeks of breastfeeding, and these problems often cause mothers to stop breastfeeding earlier than they intended. Fortunately, if women receive competent care, their pain can be effectively treated. Dr. Carmela Baeza will present the latest findings to help clinicians correctly identify and treat the causes of breast and nipple pain in a webinar hosted by Praeclarus Press.
This webinar will focus on two types of pain: acute and chronic. Dr. Baeza will review the latest protocols for management of acute lactational mastitis. Clinicians will learn to recognize signs of acute mastitis in breastfeeding women and manage its symptoms using evidence-based protocols. Dr. Baeza will also provide guidance on when to refer mothers for medical treatment or when to culture their milk.
Chronic breast pain is less common than acute pain, but is also more challenging to identify causes and treat. Chronic breast pain is also very difficult for mothers and increases their risk of depression, so it is important to address. Participants will learn to do a detailed history and assessment of the mother´s pain, to rule out different causes, and to develop an effective treatment plan. Dr. Baeza will also describe various new approaches to chronic breast pain, and the evidence behind them, including using breast-milk cultures, antibiotics, and probiotics.
