A pregnant woman is planning to breastfeed. The nursing intervention that will promote breastfeeding in the new mother is:
1. Facilitating breastfeeding within the first 30–60 minutes of life.
2. Giving the woman literature on breastfeeding as soon as she enters the labor room.
3. Telling the mother that the physician strongly advises new mothers to breastfeed their newborns.
4. Encouraging the mother to attend breastfeeding classes before discharge from the hospital.

Rationale:
1. The literature shows that the mother who has the opportunity to breastfeed her infant within the first 30–60 minutes after birth facilitates breastfeeding later.
2. The mother in labor is not going to be able to focus on learning to breastfeed.
3. The mother will make the decision based on her feelings, not on what the physician says.
4. While this is a good intervention to prepare the mother, the best intervention occurs after the infant is born, while the mother is focused on the newborn.
