What statement by a breast-feeding mother indicates that the nurse’s teaching regarding stimulating the let-down reflex has been successful?

Answer 1

Answer: The statement you are looking for is "I will apply warm packs and massage my breasts before each feeding.' This shows the mother knows exactly what to do to care for her child and herself while breastfeeding. By doing this let-down reflex, the milk ducts will dilate more. This also helps to empty the milk from the breasts. This will also stimulate more lactation.
