The nurse is working with a client from Southeast Asia. The client tells the nurse that she should not put the baby to breast until her milk comes in and her breasts are warm, because "cold milk" (colostrum) is bad for the baby
After the nurse explains the benefits of colostrum, the client still insists that "cold milk" is bad. Which response by the nurse is best? 1. "What kind of formula would you like to use?"
2. "That idea is folklore. Colostrum is good for the baby."
3. "Now that you are here, you need to feed your baby the right way."
4. "Let's give the baby formula after you breastfeed."
4
Explanation: 4. This response attempts to provide a compromise between acknowledging the client's desire to give formula and getting the baby to breast to get colostrum. Nurses should be aware that some immigrant mothers may have this misconception about their colostrum.
