The nurse is leading a session on nutrition for newly delivered women. Which statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
1. "Because I am breastfeeding, I need a low calcium intake."
2. "Breastfeeding requires that I eat lots of protein daily.
3. "Since I am bottle-feeding, I don't have to eat vegetables."
4. "Bottle-feeding moms like me require a high sodium intake."
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Breastfeeding requires an increase of 1,000 mg per day of calcium—the same amount of calcium that is recommended during pregnancy.
Rationale 2: Breastfeeding patients should consume 65 g of protein daily during the first six months of breastfeeding and 62 g daily during the second six months. Protein is a major ingredient in breast milk.
Rationale 3: Although vitamin intake is not directly related to bottle-feeding, good nutritional habits are important to form while bottle-feeding, because in the future, the baby will be eating what the mother eats.
Rationale 4: Sodium intake is not increased during bottle-feeding.
