A Engorgement is more likely to increase if breastfeeding is delayed or infrequent.
B A well-fitting bra should be worn both day and night to support the breasts.
C Cold applications are used between feedings to reduce edema and pain. Heat is
applied just before feedings to increase vasodilation.
D Massage of the breasts causes release of oxytocin and increases the speed of milk
release.
