The postpartum multipara is breastfeeding her new baby. The client states that she developed mastitis with her first child, and asks whether there is something she can do to prevent mastitis this time. What would the best response of the nurse be?
1. Massage your breasts on a daily basis, and if you find a hardened area, massage it towards the nipple.
2. Most first-time moms experience mastitis. It is really quite unusual for a woman having her second baby to get it again.
3. Apply cabbage leaves to any areas that feel thickened or firm to relieve the swelling.
4. Take your temperature once a day. This will help you to pick up the infection early, before it becomes severe.
