Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Engorgement occurs to all new mothers, whether they breastfeed or not, but there are things the woman can do to reduce discomfort, including more frequent breastfeeding, ice packs to the breast, and warm showers to improve the let-down reflex. Milk production will stabilize within 24-36 hours, and the engorgement will subside.
