Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
You should use a breast pump if you plan to return to work.
Rationale:
🟧 Using a breast pump helps empty the breasts, preventing milk stasis and mastitis.
🟧 Pumping maintains milk supply and reduces infection risk when direct breastfeeding isn’t possible.
🟧 This is especially vital for mothers returning to work or separated from their infants.
🟧 Regular emptying—by feeding or pumping—minimizes bacterial overgrowth.
🟧 Teaching about pumps is part of comprehensive postpartum support.
