Sponsor's own description

A comparative randomized intervention study is presented between a mixed strategy of use of bee wax mammary areolae. Together with the health education program for the promotion of breastfeeding by the WHO and another educational program with the aim of improving the adherence of breastfeeding to primiparous women. The use of both interventions can contribute to the adherence to exclusive maternity in 20% in the first 6 months of life, than only with the educational program. The study provides evidence of nursing practice, thus contributing to the improvement of nursing mothers in the prevention of lesions in the nipple and care in them if they occur. Consequently, improve the rates of successful breastfeeding, as well as the quality of life of breastfeeding mothers. The study will be carried out with several groups of midwives in Health Centers, in Spain, Colombia and Mexico. The sample was calculated in 240 women who attend the midwife's controls between week 29 and 40.
