The nurse is providing discharge instructions for a first time mother and her baby. Which statement is appropriate for the nurse to include in the teaching session?
A) "Your baby's stools will change to a dark green color when your milk comes in."
B) "Call your pediatrician if the baby's temperature is 98 °F."
C) "Your infant should have 6 wet diapers each day."
D) "You can wipe away any green eye drainage that might form."
Answer: C
A minimum of six wet diapers per day indicates adequate fluid intake for the infant. A temperature of 98 °F is considered normal. Stool color is often seedy and yellow or golden brown in color when breastfeeding. Green eye drainage is abnormal and should be reported to the baby's provider.
