A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is breastfeeding and has mastitis.Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Completely emptying each breast at each feeding or using a pump helps prevent milk stasis, which can lead to mastitis. Ensuring the breasts are fully emptied reduces the risk of blocked ducts and infection.

Wearing a tight-fitting bra can restrict milk flow and exacerbate mastitis. A well-fitting, supportive bra is recommended to avoid further complications.
Limiting the time the infant nurses on each breast can lead to incomplete emptying and increase the risk of mastitis. It is important to ensure the breasts are fully emptied to prevent infection.
