1. Nipple soreness.
2. Engorgement.
3. Mastitis.
4. Letdown reflex.
3
Rationale:
1. This is not a symptom of nipple soreness.
2. This is not a symptom of engorgement.
3. Mastitis is characterized by late-onset nipple pain, followed by shooting pains during and between feedings. The skin of the affected breast becomes pink, flaking, and pruritic.
4. This is not a symptom of the letdown reflex.
