A woman who is breastfeeding her newborn says, "He doesn't seem to want to nurse. I must be doing something wrong." After teachi
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: After teaching the woman about breastfeeding, which statement by the mother indicates the need for additional teaching? would be: "Even after trying what you taught me, I still cannot get him to nurse. Maybe I am one of those women who cannot breastfeed."

Explanation:

The process of breastfeeding an infant can be a pretty difficult and even frustrating one for women. There is a misconception about the process regarding the belief that women are genetically, and naturally, prepared to perform this task, and thus, women who find it difficult, tend to believe they are incapable. Breastfeeding takes a lot of time, it is not an in-born characteristic, it is a learned response, and the success on it depends on the time, and patience dedicated to appropriately learn the techniques that work and those that don´t. The response given above by this woman shows that she still believes she is incapable because her baby is still not nursing as she wants him to, but what she is not taking into account is that nursing takes time, practice, and continuous learning. Therefore, at this statement, a nurse must know that further teaching, and even counseling, is necessary.
