When a nurse teaches a new mother how to breastfeed, the mother is instructed to fully empty the first breast offered to her newborn before offering the other, to ensure that:
a. both breasts are fully emptied during a feeding
b. the infant receives the foremilk
c. the infant receives the hindmilk
d. the infant receives the milk highest in lactose
C
Breastfeeding teaching should include positioning for infant feeding, bringing the infant close to the breast so the infant can latch on to the nipple and areola, and allowing the infant to fully empty the first breast before offering the other so that the infant receives both the foremilk (watery first milk high in lactose) and the hindmilk (high in fat content for weight gain).
