Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Having Preterm Infants Smell Amniotic Fluid, Mother's Milk, and Mother's Odor During Heel Stick Procedure on Pain, Physiological Parameters, and Crying Duration.
The study aims to assess effects of having preterm infants smell amniotic fluid, mother's milk, and mother's odor during heel stick procedure on pain, physiological parameters, and crying duration. ⋯ Amniotic fluid, mother's milk, and mother's odor were not effective in preterm infants during painful procedures.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Women's use of nipple shields-Their influence on breastfeeding duration after a process-oriented education for health professionals.
This study investigated if a process-oriented training for health professionals will influence women's use and reasons for using a nipple shield, the baby's weight, and the duration of breastfeeding. ⋯ A process-oriented training in breastfeeding counseling prolongs the duration of breastfeeding for women with breastfeeding problems, where the problems are remedied by the use of nipple shields.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
An all-purpose nipple ointment versus lanolin in treating painful damaged nipples in breastfeeding women: a randomized controlled trial.
The negative outcomes associated with painful and damaged nipples have been widely documented in the breastfeeding literature. Numerous studies have been conducted evaluating topical preparations to treat nipple pain and damage with equivocal findings. No studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the increasingly popular all-purpose nipple ointment (APNO). The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effect of the APNO versus lanolin on nipple pain among breastfeeding women with damaged nipples. ⋯ Results suggest that APNO is not superior to lanolin in treating painful, damaged nipples.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Epidural analgesia during labor: impact on delivery outcome, neonatal well-being, and early breastfeeding.
The effect of epidural analgesia on labor and effective breastfeeding is still being debated. The aim of this study is to define its impact on the trend of labor, the newborns' well-being, and early breastfeeding. ⋯ Epidural analgesia has little effect on trend of labor and duration of first breastfeed and none on neonatal outcome. A new protocol of epidural analgesia may solve these side effects.
