Which woman is most likely to continue breastfeeding beyond 6 months?
a. A woman who avoids using bottles
b. A woman who uses formula for every other feeding
c. A woman who offers water or formula after breastfeeding
d. A woman whose infant is satisfied for 4 hours after the feeding
ANS: A
Women who avoid using bottles and formula are more likely to continue breastfeeding.
Use of formula decreases breastfeeding time and decreases the production of prolactin and, ultimately, the milk supply. Overfeeding after breastfeeding causes a sense of fullness in the infant, so the infant will not be hungry in 2 to 3 hours. Formula takes longer to digest. The new breastfeeding mother needs to nurse often to stimulate milk production.
