On the third postpartum day, a client complains of extremely tender breasts. On palpation, the nurse notes a very firm, shiny appearance to the breasts and some milk leakage. She is bottle feeding. The nurse should initially recommend to her to:

• A.Take 2 ibuprofen (Motrin) tablets by mouth now because the baby will be returning for feeding in 20 minutes
• B.Allow the infant to breast-feed at the next feeding time to empty the breasts
• C.Apply ice packs to the breasts and wear a supportive, well-fitting bra
• D.Take a warm shower and express milk from both breasts until empty
