Mothers are advised to simply wash their hands before breast feeding; washing the nipples is not necessary.
The use of powders, creams, and soap is discouraged.
In a normal term infant who is being breast fed, supplemental water feedings are not needed; in fact; these feedings may impede breast feeding by decreasing the volume of breast milk required and also by feeding by creating “nipple confusion” in the infant.
