Breast milk is nutritionally and immunologically superior to any known substitute. Morbidity and mortality are lower in breast-fed infants and their mothers, resulting in better health and lower health care costs. Despite the overwhelming evidence of health benefits and consequent endorsements from professional groups, many health care providers do not actively promote breast-feeding initiation. They may actually undermine breast-feeding duration by providing incorrect advice when problems develop. This article provides recommendations for promoting breast-feeding and discusses diagnosis and management options for common maternal lactation problems, including sore nipples, eczema, candidal infection, and mastitis.
母乳在营养和免疫方面优于任何已知的替代品。母乳喂养的婴儿及其母亲的发病率和死亡率较低，从而带来更好的健康状况并降低医疗保健成本。尽管有大量证据表明母乳喂养有益健康，且得到了专业团体的认可，但许多医疗保健提供者并未积极促进母乳喂养的开始。当出现问题时，他们可能会提供错误的建议，实际上破坏母乳喂养的持续时间。本文提供了促进母乳喂养的建议，并讨论了常见的产妇泌乳问题的诊断和管理选项，包括乳头疼痛、湿疹、念珠菌感染和乳腺炎。
