A new mother calls the nurse into the room to tell her she gets abdominal cramps every time the baby breastfeeds. Which of the following is the correct explanation for this?

Breastfeeding causes the ovaries to release prolactin and that will cause you to have increased abdominal pain.

Milk production can be painful.

When you breastfeed, the brain releases oxytocin that triggers the milk ejection reflex and makes your uterus contract causing cramps.

That is probably because the baby is laying on your belly as you feed.
