The nurse is teaching the parents of a four-month-old infant about good feeding habits
The nurse emphasizes the importance of holding the baby during feedings and not letting the infant go to sleep with the bottle, as this is most likely to increase the incidence of both dental caries and: 1. Aspiration.
2. Otitis media.
3. Malocclusion problems.
4. Sleeping disorders.

Rationale 1: There have been limited data to date showing a positive correlation to bottle propping and increased risk of aspiration.
Rationale 2: The infant's Eustachian tube, which connects the throat to the middle ear, is shorter and straighter than an adult's. When babies lie flat to feed, milk can easily enter the middle ear and increase the risk for otitis media.
Rationale 3: The primary concerns related to bottle propping are dental caries and otitis media. Poor dental alignment is not a significant problem.
Rationale 4: Sleeping disorders have not been found to be related to bottle propping.
