Abstract

This case report deals with an18-years-ols primiparous lactating mother who had an abscess on the right breast and a cracked nipple on the left. She was referred to the Hasan Sadikin’s breastfeeding mother’s support group. Beside treating her with antibiotics and analgesics, surgical intervention was done which showed a good result. A proper lactation management succeeded in increasing the milk supply as was reflected in the growth of the infant. At home visite a well-grown and exclusively breastfed infant was found. So this mother-infant pair had got the benefit of the referral system established by Hasan Sadikin Hospital.
