1. mothers have medical conditions or are taking drugs that could be passed along to the infant via breast milk.
2. mothers lack confidence in their ability to breastfeed.
3. other family members or care providers need to also feed the baby.
4. mothers see bottle-feeding as more convenient.

1. Correct. Breastfeeding is contraindicated when mothers have certain viruses, are undergoing chemotherapy, or are using/abusing drugs.
2, 3, 4. Incorrect. This may be an honest reason for not breastfeeding, although further education concerning breastfeeding's ease, convenience, benefits, and adaptability (expressing milk into bottles) might change some minds. In any case, the nurse must provide information in a non-judgmental manner and respect the mother's decision. Nonetheless, breastfeeding is definitely contraindicated when the mother has medical or drug issues of her own.
