PREVENTION:
Wash your hands carefully before each
breastfeeding and
after each diaper change.
Expose your breasts and your baby's bottom to
air and
sunlight whenever possible. Avoid sunburn.
Change breast pads and diapers frequently. Do not
use pads
with plastic liners.
Avoid the use of nipple creams and lotions that
may encourage
the growth of yeast-like fungus or bacteria.
Air dry nipples after each breastfeeding whenever
possible.
