Question

After 2 days of breast-feeding, a postpartum client reports nipple soreness. Which client statement indicates an understanding of measures to help relieve nipple soreness?

Answer 1

The client indicating that she'll lubricate her nipple with expressed milk before feeding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Breastfeeding is a natural part of becoming a mother. It allows mothers to provide good nourishment for their babies and also establish a good connection with them. Although this is ideal for mothers, it can also be n painful experience, especially for new moms.

The client above just delivered her baby, since it states she is a "postpartum client." After 2 days of breast-feeding she felt "nipple soreness," which is natural because the nipples are sensitive and the baby creates a pressure by sucking it. This can actually be relieved with the breast milk as well. All she has to do is to drop some expressed milk and massage the area. It can help the nipples recover and heal soon.

It is important to lubricate the nipple, before and after feeding the baby.
