When responding to the question, "Will I produce enough milk for my baby as she grows and needs more milk at each feeding?" the nurse should explain that:
a. The breast milk will gradually become richer to supply additional calories.
b. As the infant requires more milk, feedings can be supplemented with cow's milk.
c. Early addition of baby food will meet the infant's needs.
d. The mother's milk supply will increase as the infant demands more at each feed-ing.
D
The amount of milk produced depends on the amount of stimulation of the breast. Increased demand with more frequent and longer breast-feeding sessions results in more milk available for the infant.
Mature breast milk will stay the same. The amounts will increase as the infant feeds for longer times.
Supplementation will decrease the amount of stimulation of the breast and decrease the milk production.
Solids should not be added until about 4 to 6 months when the infant's immune system is more mature. This will decrease the chance of allergy formations.
