A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 days postpartum, is breastfeeding and reports nipple soreness. Which of the following measures should the nurse suggest to reduce discomfort during breastfeeding? (Select All that Apply.)

A. Apply breast milk to the nipples → Breast milk has natural healing properties and helps soothe sore nipples. B. Apply ice packs → Ice can cause vasoconstriction, which may worsen discomfort; warm compresses are preferred. C. Start breastfeeding with the nipple that is less sore → Infants suck more vigorously at the start of a feeding, so beginning with the less sore nipple reduces discomfort. D. Change the infant’s position → Different latch positions can reduce pressure on sore areas, promoting healing. E. Wear a tight-fitting nursing bra → A properly fitting bra is essential; tight bras may increase discomfort and risk of clogged ducts.
