The objective of this study was to verify associations between the persistence of nipple lesions in puerperae and breastfeeding conditions. The data were collected in the Rooming-in sector at the HU-USP and a post-partum nursing consultation. Sixty puerperae presenting nipple lesions during hospitalization were included in the study. A total of 73.3% had healed-scared nipples and 26.7% some type of lesion. The average healing time was 5.6 days. A significant association was observed between the persistence of nipple lesions, inadequate suction patterns, and nipple pain. It was concluded that the first post-partum week is critical, and assistance to puerperae is needed. The association between inadequate suction patterns and nipple lesion persistence underscores the importance of breastfeeding assistance.Downloads
