Rationale: Nurses should advise the non-breastfeeding mother to avoid any stimulation of her breasts and nipples by her baby, herself, breast pumps, or her sexual partner until the sensation of fullness has passed (usually in 7 to 10 days). Such stimulation will increase milk production and delay the suppression process. Heat is avoided for the same reason. The wearing of a 24-hour support bra and the use of cabbage leaves and/or cold compresses should be helpful during this period of time.
