Explanation: 1. A warm water bottle placed against the low abdomen may reduce the discomfort of afterpains.
4. The breastfeeding mother may find it helpful to take a mild analgesic agent approximately 1 hour before feeding her infant.
5. An analgesic agent such as ibuprofen is also helpful at bedtime if the afterpains interfere with the mother's rest.
