Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Engorgement is the most likely problem the new mother will have after not nursing her baby for 6 hours. Engorgement is when the breasts become overly full and tender due to milk buildup, and it can lead to difficulty with breastfeeding if not relieved. The other options tend to occur with more prolonged or specific issues with breastfeeding.
