A Latino client who has just delivered a newborn son wants to breastfeed but says she would like to bottle-feed for the first few days
After talking with the client, the nurse learns that the primary reason for the client's desire to delay breastfeeding is based on the cultural belief that: 1. Breast milk causes skin rashes.
2. It is harmful to breastfeed immediately.
3. Colostrum is bad for the baby.
4. Thin milk causes diarrhea.
3. Colostrum is bad for the baby.
Rationale:
Some Latino cultures believe breastfeeding should be delayed because colostrum is bad for the baby. The belief that breast milk causes skin rashes is from the Haitian culture. The Latino culture does not believe that it is harmful to breastfeed a baby immediately. The belief that thin milk causes diarrhea is a Haitian cultural belief.
