A 24-year-old primipara decides to breast-feed her baby but says, "I’m worried that I won’t be able to breast-feed my baby because my breasts are so small. " Which of the following is appropriate response by the nurse()
A. Because her breasts are small, she will have to feed the baby more often.
B. Breast size poses no influence on a woman’s ability to breast-feed a baby.
C. Breast milk can be enhanced by occasional formula feeding.
D. The woman’s motivation to breast-feed is less important than breast size.
参考答案:B
解析:
Breast size is not important as long as there is glandular tissue to secrete the milk, although various factors can influence milk supply, such as suckling, emptying of the breasts, diet, exercise, rest, level of contentment, and stress. The fat in breast tissue plays no role in milk production.
