A client who gave birth 48 hours ago has decided to bottle feed the infant. During the assessment, the nurse observes that both breasts are swollen, warm, and tender on palpation. Which instruction should the nurse provide?

A. Running warm water over the breasts can stimulate milk production, which is not desired for a client who is bottle feeding. B. Expressing milk also stimulates further milk production, prolonging engorgement. C. Applying ice to the breasts helps reduce swelling, discomfort, and milk production, making it the correct recommendation for managing engorgement in non-breastfeeding mothers. D. Wearing a loose-fitting bra may increase breast movement and discomfort; a supportive, well-fitting bra is recommended to minimize stimulation and provide comfort.
