Which of the following is not a sign that let-down during breastfeeding has occurred?

  1. Feeling warmth/fullness

  2. Dripping

  3. Uterine contractions

  4. Waking up frequently for feeding

The correct answer is: Waking up frequently for feeding

The correct answer is "Waking up frequently for feeding" because it is not a direct sign of let-down during breastfeeding. Let-down is the release of milk from the milk glands to the nipple, usually triggered by the baby's sucking. The feeling of warmth/fullness, dripping of milk, and uterine contractions are all common signs that let-down has occurred during breastfeeding. However, waking up frequently for feeding is more likely related to the baby's feeding schedule or hunger cues rather than indicating a let-down.
