The client asks the nurse how she will know if her baby is getting enough breast milk. Initially, which response by the nurse would be most helpful?
a. "Your baby should have at least eight to ten wet diapers per day."
b. "If the baby nurses four times a day, she is getting enough milk."
c. "Your baby should have a stool once a day."
d. "If the baby is sleeping soundly through the night, she is getting enough milk."
A
The infant's output is a reflection of the intake and eight to ten wet diapers a day reflects adequate intake. Breastfed infants usually eat eight to twelve times a day for the first 3 to 4 weeks. Most breastfed infants stool with every void or every other void. If an infant is sleeping soundly through the night, the infant is not getting adequate nutrition.
