The client should wash her breasts with clear tap water daily, without soap, to remove the colostrum and minimize the risk of infection. A firm supportive bra with wide straps is recommended because it can spread the weight across the shoulders. If colostrum secretion becomes excessive, the client may place gauze squares inside the bra and change them frequently to keep the breasts dry.
