Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a new parent about breastfeeding her 2-week-old infant. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "The more my baby is at the breast sucking, the more milk I will produce." This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because frequent and effective sucking stimulates milk production through the release of prolactin. As the baby feeds, it signals the body to produce more milk to meet the demand. This feedback loop helps establish and maintain milk supply.
Rationale for Incorrect
Choices:
A: Incorrect. Removing the baby before the breast is emptied can lead to insufficient milk removal, affecting milk supply.
B: Incorrect. Starting on the same breast every time can lead to uneven milk production and potential issues like engorgement.
D: Incorrect. Manually expressing milk can actually help increase milk supply by promoting milk removal and stimulating milk production.
