The nurse is providing education to a mother who is going to bottle feed her infant. what information will the nurse provide to this mom regarding breast care?

Wear a tight, supportive bra.

Explanation: The patient trying to dry up her milk supply should do as little stimulation to the breast as possible. She needs to wear a tight, supportive bra and use ice. Running warm water over the breasts in the shower will only stimulate the secretion, and therefore the production, of milk. Massaging the breasts will stimulate them to expel the milk and therefore produce more milk, as will expressing small amounts of milk when the breasts are full.
