Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of mastitis occurs in women who are breastfeeding, especially if they have sore or cracked nipples or have had mastitis previously.
Risk Factors
The most potent risk factor in the development of mastitis occurs in women who are breastfeeding.
Other common risk factors of mastitis include:
- Previous history of mastitis while breastfeeding[1]
- Infrequent feedings[1]
- Nipple excoriation or cracking[1]
- Rapid weaning
- Illness in mother or baby[1]
- Maternal stress or excessive fatigue[1]
- Maternal malnutrition[1]
- Women who use only one position to breastfeed[1]
- Wearing a tight-fitting bra which may restrict milk flow
- Women with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, chronic illness, AIDS, or an impaired immune system, may be more susceptible to the development of mastitis
- Nipple piercings pose a risk due to bacterial infection following the injury and hormonal stimulation by the piercing[2]
