A. "I should crush cabbage leaves and place them on my breasts.”. . B. "I should apply hot packs to my breasts during feeding.”. . C. "I will apply ice packs to my breasts after feeding.”. . D. "I will breastfeed every 2 hours.”.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The correct answer is choice B.

Choice A rationale:

Cabbage leaves have been used for many years for relief of breast engorgement. They can be crushed slightly until the juice is visible and then chilled in the refrigerator before applying to the breasts.

Choice B rationale:

Applying hot packs during feeding can actually increase blood flow and make engorgement worse. Cold packs should be used after feeding to help reduce swelling.

Choice C rationale:

Applying ice packs after feeding can help reduce swelling and provide relief from engorgement.

Choice D rationale:

Frequent breastfeeding can help to relieve engorgement. The breasts should be emptied completely at each feeding.
