Successful breastfeeding is most dependent on the:
a. mother's socioeconomic level.
b. size of mother's breasts.
c. mother's desire to breastfeed.
d. birth weight of newborn.
ANS: C
The factors that contribute to successful breastfeeding are the mother's desire to breastfeed, satisfaction with breastfeeding, and available support systems. The mother's socioeconomic level may affect the mother's need to return to work and available support systems, but with support, the mother can be successful. The size of the mother's breasts does not affect the success of breastfeeding. Very low–birth-weight newborns may be unable to breastfeed. The mother can express milk, and it can be used for the child.
