A client who is 2 days postpartum with a second child says the cramps get worse during breastfeeding and asks if something is wrong. What is the nurse's best response?

1. 1"The cramping is a sign of infection, and you will need antibiotics soon."
2. 2"Oxytocin released with letdown makes the uterus contract, which is expected."
3. 3"The cramping means that part of the placenta remains inside the uterus."
4. 4"The cramping means that your baby is not latching onto the breast well enough."
