Explanation:

2. Adaptation to grandparenthood is a task for her parents and not a high priority for teaching the new mother.
3. This is not appropriate because the baby has no siblings.
4. Helping the mother to identify her baby's behavior cues facilitates the acquaintance phase of maternal–infant attachment.
