True or False: A breastfeeding mother should wear a well-fitted supportive bra, preferably with underwire.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on personal comfort
• D. Only when feeding

Answer: (B)

A breastfeeding mother should focus on wearing a well-fitted supportive bra, but it's generally advised to avoid underwire bras, especially in the early stages of breastfeeding. The correct approach is that a supportive bra can help provide comfort and support to the changing shape of the breasts due to milk production. However, underwire can sometimes interfere with milk flow and can lead to blocked ducts, which may result in discomfort and potential complications such as mastitis.

Therefore, while personal comfort is important, the recommendation typically leans toward wearing a supportive bra without underwire to ensure optimal comfort and functionality during breastfeeding.
