Primi Mother VS Nurse

Nurse : Hello, good morning. My name is Oetans and I am one of the registered nurses in this facility. For my confirmation shall I know your name please..

Patient : My name is Terese Thompson..

Nurse : Hi Thompson. How are you feeling today? How is your baby? 

Patient : We are doing good. Thank you for asking.. 

Nurse : I can see that you are frustrated. Could you please tell me, What is bothering you..

Patient : Yes of course, I need your help nurse..

Nurse : Sure, kindly let me know the reason. So that I can give you some suggestions..

Patient : I have a problem with my nipples and it's hurting me a lot..

Nurse : Oh, I'm sorry to hear that could you please explain to me what kind of problem it is..

Patient : It seems like cracks. I have severe pain and even bleeding sometimes..

Nurse : All right, I can understand your situation but for my better understanding shall I assess your breast once please..

Patient : Yes, you may proceed..

Nurse : Thank you. Crap nipples is a condition that can occur in breastfeeding women as a result of a number of possible causes. It is a trauma to the nipple and can be quite painful. Typically it appears three to seven days after the baby's birth..

Patient : Yes I can understand what you are saying but I would like to know what exactly the cause is..

Nurse :  Sure, being a preemie mother your inexperience and the poor positioning itself might be the major reasons for your present condition. When the baby is latched on correctly the nipple is located against the soft palate in the back of the baby's mouth, when the nipple is near the front of the mouth and being pinched against the hard palate this will cause pain, and development of cracked nipples to be more clear cracked nipples are the incorrect positioning and incorrect latching onto the breast by the infant. The baby can create cracked nipples due to the strong sucking pressure stretching and pulling the nipple. The friction and rubbing of skin to skin. Am I clear to you..

Patient : Yes you are, and as you said it is very much painful and I can't even bear the pain.. 

Nurse : I acknowledge your concerns, and they are really reasonable so don't worry I can provide you a detailed explanation regarding correct latching and a brochure, which contains all the feeding techniques as well as feeding positions. Is it okay for you..

Patient : Can you please explain in detail nurse?

Nurse : Sure, when your baby latches onto your breast the baby should have your entire nipple and about an end of the surrounding areola in the baby's mouth baby's tongue should be down and his lips should be turned out against your breast. You need to hear your baby swallowing and there shouldn't be any clicking or smacking sounds as the baby is sucking. Is that clear for you..

 

Nurse : Oh yes, here is the brochure. You may ask me if you want any clarifications..  Okay if you are feeling any soreness even after following a proper position and feeding techniques the doctor will prescribe you some medicines for faster healing..

Patient : Thank you nurse but in this situation with this pain I don't want to feed my baby. So can you please give me suggestions regarding the top feeds available in the market?..

Nurse : I realize that it is aching you but the best possible solution is to feed your baby correctly every two hours by two months feeding every three to four hours is common and by six months most babies feed every four to five hours. Are you getting me?

Patient : Yes but I don't want to feed as I feel that best feeding may distort my body image..

Nurse : Yes I know what you are feeling right now and I understand your perspective but it is important to feed the baby exclusively for the initial six months. No other supplementary food provides enough nutrition to your baby as breast milk does. Breast milk provides the ideal nutrition for infants. It is a nearly perfect mix of vitamins, protein and fat everything your baby needs to grow, and it's all provided in a four more easily digested than infant formula breast milk contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria. Breastfeeding lowers your baby's risk of having asthma or allergies plus babies who are breastfed exclusively for the first six months without any formula have fewer ear infections respiratory illnesses and bouts of diarrhea they also have fewer hospitalizations and trips to the doctor. Are you understanding my point..

Patient : Yes nurse, in addition to all these benefits the physical closeness skin to skin touching and eye contact will help your baby bond with you and feel secure. Maul rover breastfed infants are more likely to gain the right amount of weight as they grow rather than becoming overweight children..

Nurse : yes I understood all the points you convey to me but right now my concern is regarding my body because I found many women after breastfeeding with a distorted body structure and I don't want it to me..

Nurse : I can appreciate, this is difficult for you but don't worry with proper physical exercises or yoga programs you can achieve a desired figure. Is that okay for you?

Patient : That's a great news.. 

Nurse : Are you sure about it?

Patient : Yes, I am thank you nurse. I am really grateful for letting me know regarding all these things..

Nurse : You are very welcome, and we are happy to help you..

Patient : Great I really appreciate your kindness.. 

Nurse : Thank you. If you have any further concerns, kindly press the bell on your right hand side sure great I wish you a happy motherhood..

Patient : Thank you..
