A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is breastfeeding their newborn and reports that their nipples have become sore and cracked.Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Choice A rationaleStarting each feeding with the most sore breast can worsen the condition, as the infant initially sucks more vigorously at the beginning of a feeding. This might increase the pain and damage to the already sore breast.Choice B rationaleMoisture-proof lining in breast pads can cause an accumulation of moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. This can exacerbate soreness and lead to infections such as mastitis.Choice C rationaleBreastfeeding less frequently can lead to engorgement and plugged ducts, which can further complicate breast soreness and potentially decrease milk supply. Regular feeding helps in maintaining milk flow and production.Choice D rationaleColostrum has natural healing properties, including immunoglobulins and growth factors, that can help heal sore and cracked nipples. Applying colostrum can promote faster recovery and reduce discomfort.
