A new mother is ambivalent about breastfeeding and agrees to do it for at least 3 months. What response should the nurse provide to the patient at this time that would support the 2020 National Health Goals?
A) Breastfeeding helps the mother return to prepregnancy weight faster.
B) Three months is the recommended time frame for the baby's nutrition.
C) Breast milk can be donated so that preterm infants can have additional nutrition.
D) Six months to 1 year of age is the best time frame to support the baby's growth needs.
D
Feedback:
Six months to 1 year of age is one of the 2020 National Health Goals for breastfeeding. Although breastfeeding can help the mother return to prepregnancy weight, this is not a 2020 National Health Goal for breastfeeding. Three months is not the recommended time frame for the baby's nutrition. Breast milk can be donated; however, this is not a 2020 National Health Goal for breastfeeding.
