Kendra will prefer the breast pad that has been used by her mother and that smells of the mother

Explanation:

According to the studies conducted, researchers have found that babies can discover the smell of their mothers. Since birth babies are always close to their mothers breast and which is why when the sweat is generated from the sweat glands of their mother, baby can easily recognize that smell.

Apart from mother's bread pad, if Kendra is presented with the unused pad, she will definitely refuse that pad mainly because Kendra isn't used to the smell of that unused pad.
