Abstract：Objective: To investigate the effect of dual-use nipple protection and milk feeder on the success rate of breast feeding in the parturient women with depressed nipple. Methods: Eighty parturient women with type II sunken nipple delivered in the Second Affiliated Hospital & Yuying Children’s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were randomly divided into control group (n=40) and observation group (n=40) from October 1st, 2017 to October 30th, 2018. The sunken nipple of parturient women in the control group was corrected by routine nursing method, while the sunken nipple of parturient women in the observation group was corrected by self-made dual-use nipple protection and milk feeder. The breast-feeding rate in the 3rd day after delivery, the scores of S-AI (state anxiety) and T-AI(trait anxiety) on the 3rd day after delivery were compared between two groups. Results: The breast feeding rate on the 3rd day postpartum in the parturient women of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the levels of S-AI and T-AI on the 3rd day postpartum in the parturient women of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The dual-use nipple protection and milk feeder is proved to lower the score of S-AI and T-AI and increase the breast feeding rate, thus promoting the health of mother and infant.
