Erin Fee is still wanting mothers with nipple pain to contact her

Erin Fee is a masters student conducting this study, she is very keen to see any mother with nipple pain

METABOLITE PROFILING OF HUMAN MILK IN MOTHERS WITH NIPPLE PAIN

Nipple pain is largely responsible for early weaning of infants, whereas exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is preferred. I’m conducting a study on metabolites present in milk at the time of nipple pain. Participants will be asked to donate 15ml of milk, which will be tested for compositional changes. Milk can be expressed at The University of Western Australia or home collection can be organised if that is more suitable. The results will enable us to identify changes in milk composition allowing us to gain a greater understanding into the cause and effect of nipple pain.
