Title slide	Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Breast conditions in lactating mothers.
Image: Engorged breasts. Image: Breast affected by mastitis.	In this tutorial, we will learn about- Breast engorgement and Mastitis
Image: Engorged breasts.	Let us begin with Breast engorgement
Image: Engorged breasts. Image: Natural delivery. Image: Calendar.	Engorgement occurs most commonly between 3 to 5 days after delivery. It occurs in both breasts simultaneously
Image: Full breasts. Image: Engorged breasts.	Mother should not confuse breast engorgement with breast fullness. Thus, now we will discuss the difference between breast engorgement and full breasts.
Image: Engorged breasts. Image: A baby is trying to latch on the mother’s big breast. Image: Clock for showing the duration of 24 hours.	In engorgement- breast become firm, swollen and painfully full of milk. it gives shiny appearance and shows dilated veins on the surface. mother may suffer from fever that lasts for more than 24 hours and latching becomes hard for the baby.
Image: Full breasts. Image: The shiny appearance of engorged breasts with the red cross mark. Image: A sick mother with the red cross mark. Image: Symbol of pain.	Whereas, full breasts are normal. full breasts appear big but they do not give shiny appearance, full breasts are not painful and fever is absent during breast fullness.
Image: A mother is breastfeeding the baby soon after delivery. Image: A mother is breastfeeding to a baby. Image: Baby is crying but the mother is not breastfeeding her baby. Image: Poor attachment.	Now let’s discuss the causes of breast engorgement in lactating mothers. Breast engorgement can occur in the following conditions- if mother has not fed the baby soon after delivery. mother is not feeding the baby frequently. baby has poorly latched on mother’s breast during breastfeeding and mother has stopped breastfeeding suddenly.
Image: Icon of treatment.	Now let’s discuss how engorgement can be treated.
Image: Washing hands. Image: Mother is drinking a glass of water in sitting position. Image: Mother is carrying her baby. Image: Mother is smelling the baby’s towel.	First- Ask the mother to wash her hands with the clean water Then, bring the baby closer to the mother so she can- see, smell and touch the baby. If baby is too fussy, mother can smell the baby’s towel. After that, mother should drink a glass of water.
Image: A piece of cloth is kept on the mother's breast. Image: A mother is taking a shower. Image: Breastmilk is coming out from the breast.	Then, keep wet warm cloth on the breast for 5 to 10 minutes or Mother can also take a warm shower. It will help the breast milk to come out.
Image: Health worker is talking to a mother. Image: Stressed mother. Image: Let-down reflex.	After that, health worker should tell the mother to relax- as excess of stress will affect the let-down reflex and milk will not come out.
Image: A health worker is massaging the mother’s upper back. Image: Breast milk is coming out from the breast.	Now- either health worker or any family member should massage on the mother’s neck and upper back. it will help the breast milk to come out. since, nerve supply towards upper back and breast is same.
Image: A mother is gently massaging her breasts. Image: Oxytocin reflex.	Then, mother should start gently massaging her breast in circular motion. Massaging will make her relax and will improve the let-down reflex.
Image: Oxytocin reflex. Image: Oxytocin hormone. Image: Milk is coming out from the breast.	All these things will help in releasing of Oxytocin. It is known as Oxytocin reflex or let-down reflex. Oxytocin is a hormone which helps the breast milk to come out.
Image: A mother is expressing the milk using her hands. Image: A baby is latched on properly on her mother’s breast	Then, mother should manually express some amount of milk to soften the areola. It will help the baby to latch on the breast correctly.
Image: Mother is gently massaging the area around areola.	During expressing the breast milk- mother should apply pressure around the areola.
Image: Mother is helping the baby in latching. Image: A mother is breastfeeding on both sides.	After expressing- mother should guide the areola in the baby’s mouth. as it would be difficult for a baby to self-attach. try to breastfeed on both sides.
Image: The cold cloth is kept on the mother’s breasts. Image: The Cabbage leaves are kept on the mother’s breasts. Image: A refrigerator. Image: An earthen pot. Image: A mother is breastfeeding the baby. Image: Engorged breasts	Between the feeds mother should keep wet cold cloth on breasts for 5- 10 minutes. Or Mother can keep cold cabbage leaves on breasts. She can store these cabbage leaves either in refrigerator or in earthen pot. It helps in reducing the tenderness and edema in the breast. Then mother should breastfeed frequently.
Image: Grouped image of hunger signals of the baby. Image: Breast engorgement. Image: Icon of prevention. Image: Squirming baby.	Now let’s learn how can we prevent breast engorgement First, try to understand hunger signals of a baby such as- squirming
Image: Rooting reflex.	Increasing rooting reflex In rooting reflex- baby turns her head towards anything which touches her cheek or mouth.
Image: A baby is sucking his fingers.	Sucking on fingers
Image: The crying baby	In late stage, the baby starts crying.
Image: The Grouped image of early hunger signals of the baby. Image: A mother is breastfeeding to a baby with the green check mark. Image: A crying baby.	breastfeed the baby whenever she shows early hunger signals, and not wait for the baby to cry.
Image: The Correct technique of breastfeeding	Make sure that the baby is latched on properly and feeding well.
Image: Mother is checking the breast is emptied or not	Remember, Empty one breast completely before you switch to the other side.
Image: Overfull breasts. Image: Mastitis breast. Image: Symbol of pain. Image: The sick mother.	Next, let’s learn another breast condition called Mastitis- It is a condition where part of breast becomes red, swollen and hard. Mother feels severe pain, fever and ill.
Image: A calendar. Image: A mother is breastfeeding a baby.	Many mothers goes through mastitis in first 6 weeks, But it can occur at any time during lactation.
Image: Mastitis breast. Image: Engorged breasts.	It is sometimes confused with breast engorgement.
Image: engorged breasts	However engorgement affects whole breast and often both breasts.
Image: One breast which is affected by mastitis.	Whereas mastitis affects part of the breast and usually only one breast.
Image: Engorged breasts. Image: Blocked ducts.	Mastitis may develop in an engorged breast or follow condition of blocked ducts,
Image: Blocked duct.	Now, we will discuss how blocked duct develops into mastitis if untreated.
Image: A breast affected by mastitis.	Blocked duct is a condition where milk is not removed from part of a breast. Usually this duct is the part of breast blocked by thickened milk.
Image: Overfull breast with blocked duct. Image: Breast lump.	It leads to lump formation. This lump is tender and often present with redness of the skin over the lump.
Image: Blocked duct. Image: Breast engorgement. Image: Milk stasis.	Blocked duct and breast engorgement causes milk stasis.
Image: Inflammation of breast tissue.	When milk stays in part of a breast in blocked ducts and breast engorgement, It is called stasis.
Image: Inflammation of breast tissue.	If this stasis is not removed, it could lead to inflammation of breast tissue. It is called non-infective mastitis.
Image: Breasts with infective mastitis.	Whereas, Sometimes breast becomes infected with the bacteria and this is called infective mastitis.
Image: Mastitis breast. Image: Medicines. Image: Breast fissure.	In following conditions, bacteria will easily enter through fissure: If fissure is present on the breast. Mastitis remains untreated and delayed treatment

Image: A stressed mother. Image: Let-down reflex.	Sixth is maternal stress - if mother is going through any stressful conditions. it will affect the let-down reflex.\|-
Image: nipple fissure	Seventh is nipple fissure- it provides a way for bacteria to enter the breast tissue and may lead to mastitis.
Image: Icon of cause and treatment. Image: A piece of cloth is kept on the mother’s breast. Image: A mother is taking a shower.
