Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positioning the infant so the nipple is far back in the mouth ensures that the infant is properly latched on and reduces the risk of nipple trauma. Limiting feeding time to less than 5 minutes may not provide adequate nutrition for the infant and washing the nipples daily with mild soap and water can dry out the skin, leading to cracking and tissue damage. While assessing the nipples before each feeding is important, it alone may not prevent nipple trauma.
