A newborn of 32 weeks' gestation who is in the intensive care nursery is not permitted to nurse at this time. The mother asks if she may use the electric breast pump once her milk comes in, so she may save it for the baby
What would be the most appropriate response from the nurse? a. "Breastfeeding may be too tiring for your baby. Have you considered bottle-feeding?"
b. "Starting to pump now will help stimulate milk production."
c. "The breast pump may cause engorgement if your baby is not nursing."
d. "We still have time because your baby is NPO."
B
Breast milk fills the breast due to stimulation. If the infant is unable to provide that stimulation through nursing, having the mother pump her breasts will help her milk come in and can be saved and given to the infant either via OG tube or bottle.
