Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placing absorbent pads in the bra can effectively manage leakage of breast milk and prevent discomfort and embarrassment for the mother. Decreasing the newborn's feeding time or the mother's fluid intake can lead to inadequate milk production and affect the baby's nutrition. Administering oxytocin may be indicated for certain medical conditions but is not necessary or recommended for managing breast milk leakage.
