RESUMO
The benefits of breastfeeding for pre-term and full-term infants are well documented. Breastfeeding facilitates maternal-infant attachment, provides optimal infant nutrition and immunologic protection, and minimizes economic impact. These benefits are multiplied with twins and higher-order multiples, who often are born at risk. Supporting a mother as she initiates and continues to breastfeed one infant requires specific knowledge and skills. Health professionals need additional knowledge and skills if they are to provide appropriate assessment, intervention, and support when a mother breastfeeds twins or higher-order multiples.

Candida infections can be extremely persistent and often are a source of considerable frustration for parents and professionals. Appropriate management of the initial infection is critical. Too often the treatment is inadequate or carried out for too short a period. A fungus is an amazing organism, deceptive in its simplicity, tenacious in its adaptability. Management of candidiasis challenges the lactation consultant to provide not only assessment and intervention but reassurance and reassessment in order to preserve the breastfeeding relationship.
