Answer 1 is incorrect because expressed breast milk or lanolin can be used to relieve pain of sore nipples. Answer 2 is correct because babies who are breastfed should be on a demand schedule, feeding an average of 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period. Answer 3 is incorrect because avoiding a pacifier during the first 4 to 6 weeks while breastfeeding is being established helps to avoid nipple confusion and prevent reinforcing non-nutritive sucking. Answer 4 is incorrect because wearing a supportive bra helps reduce pain associated with engorgement.
