Description of 101 cases of nipple cracks and risk factors via case-control study in eight units of a perinatal network.

Knowledge of the risk factors should enable practitioners to propose active prevention to mothers with fair skin, a history of cracks, or a lack of experience in breastfeeding by helping them to breastfeed during the first days of their infant's life, especially for primiparous and overweight or obese women.
